The qualifying process for the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup for Sudamerica began in August 2024, with eight teams competing for one qualification spot (Sudamérica 1) into the final tournament and two spots into play-off matches (Sudamérica 2 & 3). [1]
Unlike the other regional qualification process, a tournament did not operate as the regional qualification tournament for Rugby World Cup 2027 in Sudamerica. Instead a format between the main Sudamerica teams (excluding Argentina who had already qualified) and the four development teams was created to decide who would qualify for the World Cup.
Qualification took place over three rounds with a single repechage match between the second and third rounds;
Eight teams will compete during the Sudamerica qualifiers for the 2027 Rugby World Cup, with Argentina the only team qualified from the Region prior to the qualification process.
