The Chile national rugby union team, nicknamed Los Cóndores, represents Chile in the sport of international rugby union. The team, which plays in red jerseys and blue shorts, is organized by the Chilean Rugby Federation (Federación de Rugby de Chile). As of 2015, Chile has not qualified for a Rugby World Cup.
Chile was the first South American nation outside of Argentina to play international rugby union, playing their first international test against Argentina in 1936 in Santiago. Chile is one of the founding members of CONSUR, now known as Sudamérica Rugby, in 1989, alongside Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Chile has long been participating in the South American Rugby Championship since 1951, and has consistently been the third or second best team in South America. In 2016, Chile, alongside the unions of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the United States, and Uruguay, formed the Americas Rugby Championship, aimed at increasing the standard of rugby union in the Americas.
The sport has historic connections to the Scottish community in the country. In 2012, two Scottish-Chilean players, Donald and Ian Campbell, were inducted into the IRB (now World Rugby) Hall of Fame.
