For the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, the Americas were allocated one direct qualifying place (Americas 1) in addition to the automatic qualification of Canada which was granted a place due to reaching the quarter-final stages of the 1991 tournament.[1][2]
The regional bodies, CONSUR representing South America and NAWIRA representing North America, conducted their own qualification matches in the first round determine their respective top teams. A home and away play-off between those two teams then decided the World Cup qualification place. Argentina won both matches over the United States to secure qualification for the 1995 tournament.[3][4]
