USA Men's Eagles Host Argentina XV in Fort Lauderdale International Test Match
The USA Men’s Eagles will host Argentina XV on Saturday, August 15, at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in a non-capped fixture. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. USA Rugby announced the matchup in May as part of its 2026 schedule and preparation for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. The fixture is not a rankings Test because Argentina XV is the next-of-XV side, rather than the senior Los Pumas. Argentina’s senior men’s team is ranked fifth globally, but that ranking should not be attributed directly to Argentina XV. The teams last met in the 2019 Americas Rugby Championship, when Argentina XV won 45-14. USA Rugby, Argentina Rugby Union and World Rugby have framed the event as part of efforts to expand rugby’s U.S. footprint before the 2031 men’s and 2033 women’s World Cups.
