Dogos XV is a professional rugby union team based in Cordoba, Argentina. The team was founded in 2019 as Ceibos to compete in Súper Liga Americana de Rugby[1] and was Argentina's second professional franchise.[2] The team was disbanded ahead of the 2021 season, following Argentina Rugby's decision to play the Jaguares XV in the competition, following the team's departure from Super Rugby.[3][4]
The team was rebranded for the 2023 Super Rugby Americas season as "Dogos XV",[5] and controlled by the Unión Cordobesa de Rugby (Córdoba Rugby Union).[6][7]
It also participated in a cross-border competition in November 2022 against Brazil XV, Paraguay XV and Tucumán.[8]
Dogos is also the name of Córdoba's provincial team, which won the Campeonato Argentino 7 times, the last in 2012.[9]
Stadium
[edit]In 2020, a permanent home stadium for Ceibos was not formally announced, but the Ceibos played two preseason matches scheduled at Barrio Los Boulevares in Cordoba, Argentina.[10]
From 2023 the home stadium is shared with that of Tala Rugby Club.
Prior to the 2025 season, it was announced that Dogos would be switching their home venue to Córdoba Athletic Club.[11]
