Rugby has always been played at the club, but it was only since the 1960s, with the acquisition of new lands and the construction of several new rugby pitches, that the club became strong in the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires championship.
Regatas' best performance ever was during the 2002 championship, when the team reached the finals but was later defeated by San Isidro Club. On November 2011, Bella Vista was relegated to the second division. [3]
Regatas has achieved more success in the rugby sevens version of the game, winning the provincial tournament in 1985.

In 2005, the club won both the URBA U15 and U16 titles. In 2011 Regatas was relegated to Grupo II (second division) but just one year later the club returned to the top division of Argentine rugby league system. [4]
