The game of cricket
The CAR , from its inception, to the game of
cricket, which is still practiced in the Club to date, was incorporating more
and new sports, mainly athletics, football and rugby. The first of them had in
the Club one of its most effective and enthusiastic cultists, resulting in the
Athletic Games that organized at the end of the 19th century true social-sports
events, with figures whose records transcended the borders of the country. The
gravitation of the Club was so vital and important that at the beginning of
1892 it was asked for support for the foundation of the Argentine Athletic Association of the Rio de
la Plata , but unfortunately there are no subsequent data of its participation.
The same case occurs with the founding of the current Argentine Football Association (AFA), in
whose original foundation it is very possible that the Club will participate.
On June 29,
1886, the CAR played with the then Buenos Aires Football Club the first interclub rugby match to be held in
the country, played in its former sports field on Salta Street.
In 1899
the CAR , along with Buenos Aires FC , Belgrano AC
and Lomas AC , founded the
current Unión Argentina de Rugby (UAR). He participated in his championships
until 1913 and then from 1934 to 1944, from 1951 to 1955 and from 1983 to 1995,
winning the championships of 1905, 1906 and 1935.
In 1928
the CAR
participated in the foundation of the
Rugby Union of Rosario , competing in its official championships in all
its divisions, winning the championship in many seasons.
