Originally located near the Colegiales station, the club moved to its current location in Zufriategui street in 1928. Banco Nación's rugby union team won the URBA Tournament in 1986 and 1989, as well as several rugby sevens tournaments. Hugo Porta, long-time captain of the national team, played in Banco Nación during his entire career; other recognized ''Pumas'', such as Fabián Turnes, Pablo ''Hacha'' Dinisio, Fabio ''Aguja'' Gómez, and Rodolfo Capeltti began their careers with the team. On July 14, 1991, Banco Nación defeated England national team in a surprising 29 to 21 victory, being the only club level team to do that in the world. Banco Nación is the only Argentine club to defeat two national teams, having also defeated Canada in 1989.
