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, which included promotion and relegation. Unlike in 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.[1]
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 two teams from CONSUR A in 2014 would play in the 2015 CONSUR Cup.
