History of rugby union matches between Argentina and Scotland

The national rugby union teams of Scotland and Argentina (Los Pumas) have played since 1969. However, the status of the countries' first three matches—two in 1969 and one in 1973—is ambiguous, as only Argentina awarded Test caps for those encounters. The first match recognised by both sides as a Test took place in 1990.[1]

As of November 2018, they have met 21 times, but only 18 of those matches have been recognised by both sides as Tests. Scotland went 2–1 in the three pre-1990 matches, and crushed Argentina 49–3 in their first mutually recognised Test in 1990. The Pumas then went on a seven-match winning streak, but Scotland have been more successful in recent times, winning the last five encounters and winning a two-test tour in 2010.[2]

Their most recent match took place in November 2018 and was won 14-9 by Scotland.
