1995 Rugby World Cup – Americas qualification
For the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, the Americas were allocated one direct qualifying place (Americas 1) in addition to the automatic qualification of Canada which was granted a place due to reaching the quarter-final stages of the 1991 tournament.[1][2]
The regional bodies, CONSUR representing South America and NAWIRA representing North America, conducted their own qualification matches in the first round determine their respective top teams. A home and away play-off between those two teams then decided the World Cup qualification place.
