Super Rugby Americas
Super Rugby Americas (SRA)[1][2] is a franchise rugby union tournament format in the Americas that began its first season in February 2023 after efforts by World Rugby.[3][4] It is organized and led by Sudamérica Rugby,[5] the highest rugby entity in South America.
The tournament includes seven teams through franchises. The holding of this tournament in the Americas has the precedent of the extinct Superliga Americana de Rugby (SLAR) (English: American Rugby Superleague), a precursor competition.[6]
The name Super Rugby Americas was proposed by World Rugby to draw a parallel with Super Rugby Pacific, a competition made up of franchises from Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand.
