1970 Campeonato Argentino de Rugby

The 1970 Campeonato Argentino de Rugby was won by the selection of Buenos Aires that beat in the final the selection of Cordoba.

That year in Argentine rugby

After Wales (1968) and Scotland (1969), was Ireland to visit in tour Argentina. An interesting come-back after the 1952 tour. The "Pumas" won both the tests.

The Buenos Aires Championship was won by C.U.B.A. and San Isidro Club
The Cordoba Province Championship was won by CÃÂ³rdoba Athletic
The North-East Championship was won by Universitario Tucuman
