The Torneo Regional del Oeste, commonly known as the Regional de Cuyo Top 10, is a regional rugby union competition in Argentina. The competition was first held in 2000 and involves 8 clubs from the unions of Cuyo (Mendoza), San Luis, and San Juan provinces).
This annual tournament has traditionally been dominated by Mendocino clubs. As in other inter-provincial tournaments, such as the Torneo del Litoral or Torneo del Noroeste, the best placed clubs in the Torneo del Oeste qualify for the Torneo del Interior.
History The Unión de Rugby de Cuyo was founded on 22 September 1945, for clubs from the provinces of Mendoza and in western Argentina.
The competition started in 1946 and has taken part every year since. San Juan clubs seceded in 1952, and founded the Unión Sanjuanina de Rugby, but still took part in the tournament. The last union to take part in the competition, Unión de Rugby de San Luis, was founded much later, in 1977.
Traditionally, the Torneo del Oeste has been dominated by clubs from Mendoza.
Formula The tournament, named "Regional de Cuyo Top 10" is contested by ten clubs competing in different levels, from the top division ("Primera") to lower levels.
