1973 Romania rugby union tour of Argentina

The 1973 Romania rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played between August and September 1973 by Romania national rugby union team in Argentina. The "Pumas" won both test matches against the European side.

Romania, then one of the best teams in Europe outside the Five Nations Championship, was called by Union Argentina de Rugby after the refusal of Rugby Football Union to send, as planned, the English national team, worried by political situation in Argentina, after the return of Juan Perón and the Ezeiza massacre.
