The Sudamérica XV (sometimes nicknamed the Jaguars) is a rugby union team made up from the national rugby sides in the Sudamérica Rugby (formerly CONSUR) rugby federation.
The squad was first formed in 1980 to compete against South African teams, despite the ban imposed on that country in repudiation of apartheid. Over the eight test matches played, seven of them were won by the Springboks and only one was won by the Jaguars. This single victory came at Bloemfontein in 1982.
In 2011, a new Sudamérica XV was formed to face the Argentine side before they trip to New Zealand to play the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
