2026 men's rugby union internationals
Outside of the 2026 Nations Championship, the 2026 World Rugby Nations Cup, the 2026 Six Nations Championship and other regional tournaments, a series of International matches will be played throughout the year. The All Blacks will play an eight-match tour of South Africa, playing against the United Rugby Championship (URC) sides and four Tests against the Springboks, with the fourth test being played at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.[1] Similarly, Australia and Japan will embark on a home-and-away tour of each other for the first time in their history; the former following that series with a tour of Argentina.
