# 2015 South American Rugby Championship "A"

The 2015 South American Rugby Championship (Confederación Sudamericana de Rugby (CONSUR) Championship) Division A was the second edition of the newly formatted South American Rugby Championship, which included promotion and relegation. CONSUR chose not to elect a host country or city, opting instead to spread the tournament around South America. For Uruguay, the tournament acted as preparation matches ahead of their appearance in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, their first since 2003. In addition to this, on 23 April, Uruguay took a week out of this tournament, to host a friendly match against the USA Select side.
Chile were the champions following their victory over 2015 Rugby World Cup participants Uruguay. This was the first time Chile had won the South American Rugby Championship.
