In June 2014, Ireland played a two-test series against Argentina.[1] This was Ireland's first test series against Argentina since 2007, in which Argentina won that series 2–0. However, Ireland did go into this series on the back of a Six Nations Championship victory, and three consecutive win over Argentina. Including a record winning margin of 22, the last time these two teams faced each other.[2] The tour is part of the third year on the global rugby calendar established by the International Rugby Board, which runs through to 2019.

Ireland won the series 2–0, the first time they had won a test series in Argentina, and won the Admiral Brown Cup for the second time.[3][4]
