In July 2024, the France rugby union team is scheduled to tour Argentina and Uruguay (their fifteenth overall), as part of the conventional Summer International calendar.[1][2][3] Starting in 2012, France has toured Argentina in a two-test series in the year directly following the Rugby World Cup (RWC). However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 tour was cancelled.
Reported in April 2023,[1] the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) announced key dates for the 2023–24 season, with news of a French tour of Argentina.[1][2][3] As the tour is only on a two-test basis, speculation mounted over a possible third match against either Chile or Uruguay.[4] A match against Uruguay was confirmed in April 2024.[5] France will also play a match against a World XV at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, as a pre-tour warm-up on 22 June.[6]
As well as being toured by France more than any other team, France is also Argentina's most-played fixture, having faced each other more than 50 times. It is also expected to be France coach Fabien Galthié's first tour of Argentina, and the first international tests for new Pumas coach Felipe Contepomi, who captained Argentina against France on their 2012 tour.[citation needed]
