Rugby team From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dogos XV is a professional rugby union team based in Cordoba, Argentina. The team was founded in 2019 as Ceibos to compete in Súper Liga Americana de Rugby[1] and was Argentina's second professional franchise.[2] The team was disbanded ahead of the 2021 season, following Argentina Rugby's decision to play the Jaguares XV in the competition, following the team's departure from Super Rugby.[3][4]

Dogos is also the name of Córdoba's provincial team, which won the Campeonato Argentino 7 times, the last in 2012.[9]
In 2020, a permanent home stadium for Ceibos was not formally announced, but the Ceibos played two preseason matches scheduled at Barrio Los Boulevares in Cordoba, Argentina.[10]
From 2023 the home stadium is shared with that of Tala Rugby Club.
