The Admiral William Brown Cup (in Spanish: Copa Almirante Brown) is an international rugby union competition contested between Argentina and Ireland. It was first held on 16 November 2012 at the Aviva Stadium. The trophy is named after Admiral William Brown, the Irish-Argentine born in Foxford, Co Mayo in 1777, who founded the Argentine Navy.

This competition was born after a joint initiative involving the Embassy of Argentina in Dublin, the Embassy of Ireland in Buenos Aires, the Argentine Rugby Union and the Irish Rugby Football Union.
