Rally del Paraguay is a rally competition in Encarnación, Itapúa Department in south-east Paraguay, based on the long existing Rally Trans Itapúa.

History
[edit]Conversations have been held between Paraguayan authorities and WRC Promoter before the confirmation in June 2024. The Rally Trans Itapúa has been held annually in march since 1981 and has been chosen as the event to be promoted to the WRC. In 2024 a trial event has been held in September, named 1st Rally del Paraguay, that was the last test before the WRC debut in the following year.[2] Rally Trans Itapúa keeps been running in march as opening round of Paraguayan and CODASUR championships.
