The Americas Pacific Challenge (APC) is a rugby union tournament funded by World Rugby that serves as a development competition for Americas and Pacific island nations. It provides a way to prepare players for participation with their senior national men's teams during international tests and in the Rugby World Cup qualification cycle.
The competition has been hosted by the Uruguayan Rugby Union since 2016, with all games played in Montevideo. Prior to its creation, two teams from the Americas had played in the Pacific Challenge, hosted by Fiji in 2015. This was reversed in 2016 with two Pacific Island teams joining the inaugural APC which effectively replaced the previous format of the Americas Rugby Championship.
