Hurling Club is an Argentine sports club, located in Hurlingham, Buenos Aires. As its name implies, the club was established in 1922 as a hurling team. Other disciplines hosted by Hurling are field hockey, Gaelic football, rugby union and tennis.
The rugby team currently plays in Primera División B, the second division of the URBA league system, while the hockey team competes at tournaments organised by the Buenos Aires Hockey Association.
Hurling is also notable for being the first Argentine club where Gaelic football was practised, with regular invitational matches held against Irish teams and other Gaelic football teams from Buenos Aires. The national side won the World Cup held in Abu Dhabi in 2015, with a team formed exclusively by rugby union footballers.[3]
