2014 South American Rugby Championship "A"
# 2014 South American Rugby Championship "A"

The 2014 South American Rugby Championship (Confederación Sudamericana de Rugby (CONSUR) Championship) Division A was the first edition of the newly formatted South American Rugby Championship, that included promotion and relegation. Unlike previous years, a host country or city was not chosen, rather CONSUR opted to spread the tournament around South America. This was the first time since 1981 that Argentina did not compete due to the new format of the competition.

## Changes from 2013

* An additional level above CONSUR Division A was added, with Argentina only competing in the 2014 CONSUR Cup
* Paraguay was promoted from 2013 South American Rugby Championship "B"
* The top 2 teams from CONSUR A in 2014 will play in the 2015 CONSUR Cup
