One of the best rugby clubs in Córdoba, La Tablada won the National title in 1999.

History

"El Club de la Parroquia de La Tablada" was originally a social club founded by members of La Tablada parish in Córdoba. Some members of this club were already playing rugby for Córdoba Athletic Cub and decided to form their own team.

In 1954, Bamba Rugby Club was founded in the Vélez Sarsfield district of Córdoba and played their first game against Córdoba Athletic Club.

After changing locations many times and looking for a place to call home, Bamba Rugby Club came back to La Tablada social club and the two decided to merge and become La Tablada Rugby Club in 1955.

Rugby

Since 1955, La Tablada has become a powerhouse of Cordobeso rugby, winning the Unión Cordobesa de Rugby title 14 times and the National title once in 1999.

The club also takes part in the Torneo Regional del Centro and have won the title in 2003.

La Tablada's main rivals are Tala Rugby Club.
