2025 Rugby Championship

Updated: 12/11/2025, 4:24:10 PM Wikipedia source

The 2025 Rugby Championship was the fourteenth edition of the annual Southern Hemisphere rugby union competition, organised by SANZAAR, featuring the men's national teams of Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. South Africa entered the competition as the defending champions, and kicked off the tournament against Australia on 16 August. The three traditional unions, also known as the Tri-Nations, announced their 2025 home fixtures in November and December 2024. A notable fixture is set to be played between Argentina and South Africa in the final round at Twickenham Stadium in London, exactly one week after the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup final. It is the second time a Rugby Championship match has been played at Twickenham Stadium, after Argentina played Australia during the 2016 Rugby Championship. It was also the last Rugby Championship before the beginning of the Nations Championship, which will see the Rugby Championship skipping the years 2026 and 2030. South Africa won the competition in the final round of the tournament, defeating Argentina 29–27 in London on 4 October, securing their sixth Rugby Championship title.
