Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires, familiarly nicknamed as "Muni", is a rugby union team located in the Núñez neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The team is a member of the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires and plays in the second division, the Torneo de la URBA - Grupo II [1]
Although Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires had been founded in 1920, the rugby union team was not formed until 1938. The same year the team was affiliated to the Argentine Rugby Union, taking part in the "Competencia" tournament.
In 1972 the team promoted to the second division, with 486 points scored and only 99 received. The top scorer was Emilio "Cachavacha" Aliaga, the team fullback. A years later Ciudad would be disolved but was formed again in 1983, with some of the former 1972 players and many other from the youth categories taking part of the team.
In 1986 the top division of Club Ciudad was the "Torneo de Ascenso" sub-champion. In 1994 the team was relegated to lower category but promoted in 1997 after a restructuring of the tournaments by the Argentine Rugby Union. [2]
