Rugby Union international fixtures 2024: Schedule of Test matches and The Rugby Championship featuring New Zealand All Blacks, other nations | Sporting News Australia
International rugby union makes a triumphant return in 2024 following a break since the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
South Africa were crowned world champions last October after defeating New Zealand 12-11 in the final in Paris, the All Blacks falling short in their attempt to mount a comeback after captain Sam Cane had his yellow card for a high shoulder challenge upgraded to red.
Those two will lock horns again in 2024 during The Rugby Championship, the pinnacle of international rugby union in the latter half of this year, with Australia and Argentina also contesting the competition.
New Zealand face England and Ireland during Autumn Internationals, while the Wallabies will face a Test series against Wales, and both the United States and Canada will take on Scotland.
Below is the schedule of matches for the world’s top international teams for the remainder of 2024.
