The Torneo Patagónico, commonly known as the Torneo Regional Patagónico de Rugby, is a regional rugby union competition in Argentina.
The competition started in 2008 and involves clubs from the unions of Alto Valle, Austral, Valle del Chubut,[1] and Lagos del Sur.[2]
This annual tournament has traditionally been dominated by clubs from Neuquén Province. As in other inter-provincial tournaments, such as the Torneo del Litoral or Torneo del Noroeste, the best clubs from the Torneo Patagónico qualify for the national level Torneo del Interior B.
