Rugby League Has yet to be played on Uruguayan soil but efforts are in place to bring rugby league to Central and South America through the Latin Heat Rugby League. After the Latin Heat fielded enough Uruguayan players to make up a Rugby league sevens team so they entered into the first ever Latino Rugby League Sevens Tournament.
