Argentina Jaguars are the actual champions.

It is a regional tournament supported by the World Rugby which tries to bring the best players in the region. One big objective is that every year the competition upgrades and can invite teams from other continents.[1]

Both Argentina U20 and Uruguay U20 played the tournament as a preparation for the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship and the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Trophy respectively.

Format

It has a similar format with tournaments like the IRB Nations Cup in Romania or the IRB Tbilisi Cup in Georgia. The championship will be played in three days, in which there will be three matches per days.[2]
