Copa Ibérica de Rugby
The Copa Ibérica de Rugby (Iberian Rugby Cup) is a rugby union knock-out competition played annually by clubs of the Spanish Rugby Federation and Portuguese Rugby Federation. It was played for the first time in 1965.
| Founded | 1965 |

| Region |   |
| Number of teams | 4 |
| Current champions | VRAC Quesos Entrepinares (5th title) |

Between 1965 and 1971 it was played by 4 clubs (2 of each country, both Champion's and both Runner's-up), that face each other in ligule type competition. The competition stopped being played in 1972, but returned in 1983 with a new format, with the 2 Champion's facing each other in just one game. In the season 2007–2008 it returned to the ligule type competition.
In 2009, a new competition named Iberian Rugby Cup[1] was designed. This style of rugby was meant to be played with 8 teams, four of each federation, although it was suspended.
On 6 January 2013, CDUL defeated Quesos Entrepinares by 24-13, winning their 3rd title, in the return of the Copa Ibérica after a 5-year gap.[2]
