Banco Rugby Club, usually just Banco, is a rugby union club, located in the city of Mendoza, Argentina. The team is member of the Unión de Rugby de Cuyo and currently plays in the Torneo del Oeste league.
The club was founded in 1992[1] by a group of enthusiasts of the game. Club Banco Nación supported the creation of a team, so the recently created club took its name and colors as a tribute to the institution.[5] Although women take part in many social activities at the club, they are not allowed to vote, so presidents can be elected only by male members.[6]
