Pampas XV is an Argentine professional rugby union team that currently competes in Super Rugby Americas.[1]

In the past it participated in the South African second domestic competition, the Vodacom Cup between 2010 and 2013.[2] The team was established in 2010 and was composed almost entirely by members of the High Performance Plan of the UAR. It was an unofficial third national team, below the Senior squad (Los Pumas) and Argentina XV,[3] although it has been described as the second team as well.[4]

From 2010 to 2015, Pampas XV won one Vodacom Cup and two Pacific Rugby Cup titles. In 2023, the franchise will return to field making their debut at Super Rugby Americas in replacement of Jaguares.[5]
