| Description |
Excellent well-illustrated luxurious history of Lomas Athletic Club, one of Argentina's oldest clubs still in existence.
Lomas Athletic is also considered the first great football team of Argentina, having won six consecutive titles between 1893 and 1898, although the team disaffiliated from the Association in 1909 and the sport is no longer practised at the club.
Lomas is one of the four institutions that founded the "River Plate Rugby Championship" (current Argentine Rugby Union) in 1899. The rugby union team currently plays in Primera A, the second division of the URBA league system.
Lomas has also had a prevailing role in field hockey, with the female section being the most winning team in Argentina with 18 Metropolitano championships won, a record shared with Quilmes. Nevertheless, in 2014 the first team was relegated to the second division after playing Italiano.
Lomas field hockey teams compete at tournaments organised by the Buenos Aires Hockey Association (AHBA).
