The Puma Trophy (Spanish: Trofeo Puma) is an international rugby union competition between Argentina and Australia. The trophy is a bronzed statue of a puma. Argentina and Australia first played against each other in 1979 and the trophy itself was established in 2000.
In 2012, it became a part of The Rugby Championship. The first draw between the two sides since the creation of the Puma Trophy happened in 2020 (15–15). The next meeting – two weeks later – was also a draw; given the two draws Australia retained the Trophy for another year.[1]
The Wallabies retain the Puma Trophy while Argentina are in party mode with their passionate fans.
