The 2025 Súper Rugby Américas season is the sixth edition of the Súper Rugby Américas (SRA), the premier men's rugby union competition in South America, established in 2019. The 2025 season features an seven team (fourth from Argentina), a new addition from the previous season: the Tarucas from Tucumán Province.
Format
The eight clubs in the competition compete in the regular season and consist of a double round-robin, with each participating club playing two matches against each of the other. The top 4 clubs at the end of the regular season move on to the knockout stage, where the clubs then play in a knockout tournament, consisting of semi-finals and eventually, the final.
