The 2024 URBA Top 12 (officially Top 12 Copa Macro for sponsorship reasons)[4][3] was the 125th. edition of Top 12, a rugby union club competition held in Argentina organised by the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires (URBA). The tournament was contested by twelve teams, ten from the Buenos Aires Province, one from the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, and one from Rosario. It ran from 6 April to 26 October 2024.[1]

Promoted clubs from the 2023 URBA Second division (Primera A) were Regatas Bella Vista and Champagnat which replaced Pucará[5] and La Plata that had been relegated in the previous season.[6]

Alumni won their 7th. league championship after defeating SIC 20–17 in the final.[3] On the other hand, Atlético del Rosario and Champagnat were relegated to Primera A (the second division), when in round 20th, both teams lost their matches, the Rosarian side v Regatas while the Marista was defeated by CASI.[4]

Belgrano A.C. fullback Juan Landó was the top scorer of the season[3], with 322 points.[2]

Format

The 12 participant clubs played each other in a double round-robin tournament. The four best placed teams at the end of the regular season qualified for the semifinals in order to decide which teams would play the final. The two clubs placed in the last positions (11th. and 12th.) were relegated to "Primera A".[7]
