The Puma Trophy (Spanish : Trofeo Puma) is an international rugby union competition between Argentina and Australia. The trophy is a bronzed statue of a puma. Argentina and Australia first played against each other in 1979 and the trophy itself was established in 2000.
In 2012, it became a part of The Rugby Championship. The first draw between the two sides since the creation of the Puma Trophy happened in 2020 (15–15). The next meeting – two weeks later – was also a draw; given the two draws Australia retained the Trophy for another year. [1]
Australia had sole possession of the trophy until their loss in 2023. Since then, Argentina has retained the trophy and they are the current holders.
