History

The Headmaster of St. George’s College: Canon Joseph Stevenson, and sixteen Old Georgians founded the Club on April 28th 1908 as a non-profit institution whose objectives are:

• To foster and maintain interest in the College, and friendly relations and associations among Old Georgians.
• The furtherance of the interests and prosperity of St. George’s College and its past and present members.
• The organization of social, cultural, sporting and/or other activities for members of the Club and guests.
• To foster and maintain interest in the College, and friendly relations and associations among Old Georgians
• The furtherance of the interests and prosperity of St. George’s College and its past and present members.
• The organization of social, cultural, sporting and/or other activities for members of the Club and guests.

Over more than a hundred years of various hard-working committees, and the support of its members, have kept the Old Georgian Club in good standing sports-wise, as a pillar of the Georgian community, and in the organization of diverse social events.

Sports-wise, the Club always participated in many different sports, such as cricket, rugby, hockey, football, tennis, regatta, and golf.

In cricket, the club has been a member of the Argentine Cricket Association and many players have stood out, playing for the Argentine National Team.

Rugby is the other mayor sport played by the Old Georgian Club. The first year the Old Georgian Club began to play in the River Plate Rugby Union (later known as UAR) championship was in 1935, and was won in 1937, 1938, 1939. However, with the shortage of Old G players, the club had to withdraw from the UAR in 1978. Between 1995 and 1997 efforts were made to revive the Dragon spirit, but it was short lived.

In 2011, in a joint project between St George’s College and the Old Georgian Club, an M16 division was created and the OGC began playing in the URBA once again. Shortly after, a group of young Old Georgians showed their interest in forming a new category. After many months of hard work, the M22 division was formed and to this day, it is this group of young men who continue representing our colours in the URBA tournaments.
