In July 2024, the France rugby union team is scheduled to tour Argentina and Uruguay (their fifteenth overall), apart of the conventional Summer International calender.[1][2][3] Starting in 2012, France has toured Argentina in a two-test series in the year directly following the Rugby World Cup (RWC). However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the 2020 tour was cancelled.
Reported in April 2023,[1] the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) announced key dates for the 2023–24 season, with news of a French tour of Argentina.[1][2][3] As the tour is only on a two-test basis, speculation mounted over a possible third match against either Chile or Uruguay.[4]
As well as being toured by France more than any other team, France is also Argentina's most played fixture, having played over fifty times together. It is also expected to be France coach Fabien Galthié's first tour of Argentina, and Los Pumas coach Felipe Contepomi's first international tests as new head coach, whom captained Argentina against France on their 2012 tour.[citation needed]
