The Peru national rugby team, nicknamed los Tumis, is a young team in the Americas and a member of the Confederación Sudamericana de Rugby (Consur).
In 1958 Peru, together with Argentina, Uruguay and Chile participated in the first South American tournament, held in Santiago, Chile. Because there was no IRB-sanctioned rugby union at the time, participation was not officially accepted by Peruvian sport authorities. After this, the impulse of the game seemed to have faded.
In September, 1999 Peru participated in its first official international tournament: the first U21 South American tournament in Asuncion, Paraguay.
In November, 2000 Peru participated on the first South American group B Tournament, in Sao Paulo Brazil, with Brazil and Venezuela.
In 2001 they played rugby World Cup Australia 2003 Qualifying Rounds, against Brazil, Venezuela, and with Colombia, being this last, the first official IRB game to be played and won in Peruvian grounds.
In 2007 Sudamericano B rugby championship, disputed in Peru, Los Tumis came second place, Brazil was the champion, 3rd place was for Colombia and the last place for Venezuela.
