Promotion/Relegation

In August of 2019, Chilean Rugby Federation president Cristian Rudhoff confirmed that starting in 2020 the Americas Rugby Challenge will include a promotion/relegation playoff with the Americas Rugby Championship[1]

Additionally, the lower placed North American team in the Americas Rugby Challenge every year faces the winner of the Rugby Americas North Championship in a promotion/relegation playoff.
