History

Tucumán Lawn Tennis Club was founded in San Miguel de Tucumán on 20 May 1915, as a multi-sports club, by English expatriates and young locals. The first sports played at the club were lawn tennis and cricket.

Originally located near Tucumán's Savoy Hotel, the club moved to the Parque 9 de Julio, in 1930. In 1987, 10 more hectares were purchased nearby and most installations, except for the clubhouse, were moved there.

Rugby first appeared at the club in 1961 and is now the sport for which the club is mostly known. in 1973 the club would go on to win its first provincial title.
