History

Between 2016 and 2019 they competed in a ten-a-side version of the game as they tried to build-up the game in the region. The competition was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [1] [2]

2022 saw the teams increase up to twelve players and the region had its first 12-a-side tournament.

In 2023, Trinidad and Tobago sent their fifteens team after almost twelve years. [3] They finished as runners-up after losing to USA South in the final. [4]

Colombia gave Trinidad and Tobago their biggest defeat when they met at Estadio Cincuentenario in Medellín, Colombia on 15 June 2024. [5] Colombia ran in 15 unanswered tries to end the game 96–0. [5]
