Rugby Championship schedule finalised

Match venues and kick-off times have been confirmed for the 2025 Rugby Championship.

The mini-tour format remains in place with each team playing six matches, three home and three away.

Each team hosts a two-match tour, plays an away two-match tour, and plays a one-match home and away series against the third remaining team.

This year, the Springboks host Australia for two matches before heading to New Zealand for two away matches. The All Blacks head to Argentina for their away mini-tour before hosting South Africa, while the Wallabies host Los Pumas twice.

The Bledisloe Cup home and away Tests take place in Perth and Auckland this year, with the Boks and Argentina meeting in Durban and London.

The Twickenham fixture will be only the second time a Rugby Championship match has been played outside of Sanzaar territory.
