Marista Rugby Club was founded in 1961 by Marist reverend Primo Brunato.

Founded in Mendoza the club has since moved to La Carrodilla, Luján de Cuyo, just outside the city.

Together, these clubs take part in the annual Copa Marista friendly tournament.

Although the club was only founded in 1961, Marista quickly became one of the most successful teams in Mendoza, reaching the top division in 1964 and winning the title two years later.

Marista would then go on to dominate cuyano rugby, winning seven titles in succession, between 1966 and 1972.
