Rugby is one of the most popular sports in Uruguay and the national team, Los Teros, have been playing international rugby since the 1940s. Currently ranked in the top 20 in the IRB World rankings, Uruguay has made two appearances at the 15s Rugby World Cup - in 1999 and 2003. Uruguay also has a strong reputation in Sevens as the hosts of the Punte del Este Sevens which attracts top international teams to one of South America's swankiest beach resorts. Uruguay debuted in 2009 at the Hong Kong Sevens losing all their group games to South Africa, France and South Korea.
