## History

[edit]

The Teros won the Sudamérica Rugby Sevens in 2012, and was runner-up six times. The team was fourth at both the 2011 and 2015 Pan American Games.

Uruguay played six rounds of the inaugural 1999–2000 World Sevens Series, scoring series points at the 2000 Punta del Este Sevens and 2000 Fiji Sevens.

They participated in the 2014 Hong Kong Sevens World Series Qualifier, reaching the quarterfinals after finishing second in their pool, but lost to Russia 21-14.[1] At the 2015 Hong Kong Sevens World Series Qualifier, they claimed wins over Brazil and Mexico and losses to Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea. The team did not qualify to the 2016 Hong Kong Sevens. The team participated in the 2018 World Series Qualifier at the 2018 Hong Kong Sevens.

Uruguay qualified for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens after winning the regional qualifiers at the 2018 Sudamérica Rugby Sevens.[2] They finished in 20th place after losing to Uganda.

The Teros became a core team for the 2022–23 World Rugby Sevens Series, having qualified after winning the 2022 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in Chile.[3] The team finished 12th in points, and was relegated from the World Series after finishing third in the 2023 London Sevens play-off.

Uruguay won bronze in round one of the 2024 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in Dubai,[4][5] then won the Montevideo and Munich rounds. The team won the overall series and qualified for the SVNS promotion and relegation play-off competition at the Madrid Sevens.[6][7] The Teros won three out of four matches and was promoted to the SVNS for the 2024-25 season.
