Thehistory of rugby union matches betweenArgentina andIreland is one of a very even contest and significant mutual rivalry, a rivalry increased by a series of notable meetings at theRugby World Cup.

As of November 2024^[update], in the twenty matches since 1990 which are counted as full internationals by both sides, Argentina have won six times and Ireland fourteen times. The five matches played between 1952 and 1973 are not regarded as full internationals by Ireland, but are by Argentina. In these matches each side has two wins, with one match drawn. At the end of the 2010 Autumn Internationals there was only a nineteen-point difference in cumulative points scored. The largest winning margin of 23 points for Argentina was recorded in the meeting of their2015 Rugby World Cup quarter-final, when Argentina won by 43 points to 20. Ireland's largest winning margin is 46 points, which occurred in November 2021.

Argentina have yet to beat Ireland on Irish soil, and Ireland have only won twice in Argentina. Ireland's first win against Argentina was in 1952, however it was only a capped match for Argentina.^[1] Ireland's first fully test capped away win in Argentina came in 2014. Since 2012 matches between the two teams, with the exception of World Cup matches, have been held for theAdmiral Brown Cup.^[2] As of November 2024 Ireland have won the cup on six occasions and Argentina have yet to win.
