Americas Rugby Championship All-Time Stats

The Americas Rugby Championship kicks off in just over two weeks, and this is only the third year of the tournament as a full test-match event.

The ARC used to be for teams just below full-test status, but was elevated for the 2016 season (minus Argentina, whose Argentina XV is not a full international team, so no caps for those players and no caps for the team that plays them).

We at Goff Rugby Report want to make sure you have all the cumulative stats. So here are the overall records of the teams, all of the scorers, and some additional records.

2016 Champion: Argentina XV

(2nd: USA, 3rd: Canada, 4th: Uruguay, 5th: Brazil, 6th: Chile)

 

2017 Champion: USA

(2nd: Argentina XV, 3rd: Uruguay, 4th: Canada, 5th: Brazil, 6th: Chile)
