In 1955 the Marist Brothers College Manuel Belgrano registered a rugby team to participate in the tournaments organized by the Unión Argentina de Rugby, under the name of "Los Tábanos" ("The Horseflies"). On October 1, 1958, the club was oficially founded as "Club Manuel Belgrano", being soon accepted by the Union and also supported by other clubs such as Club Atlético San Isidro and Obras Sanitarias.
On May 2, 1959, Manuel Belgrano played its first match against Atalaya. The following years the team participated in the "Clasification" zone until 1962 when Belgrano proclaimed champion and was promoted to the "Ascenso" level.[3]
