Rally Chile is a rally competition based in Concepción and held throughout the Biobío region of Chile. It was first held in 2018 when it was run as a candidate event as part of a bid to join the World Rally Championship schedule. The candidate event was deemed successful and the rally was added to the 2019 calendar. The rally made Chile the thirty-second country to host the WRC since the championship was launched in 1973.{{cite news|url=https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/october-2018/wrc-calendar/page/5810--12-12-.html|title=Chile steps up to 2019 WRC|work=wrc.com|publisher=WRC Promoter|date=12 October 2018|access-date=12 October 2018}}
