Sanzaar confirmed that the Rugby Championship will be played 2028 and 2029 before pausing again in 2030 for an international multi-week tour, likely to be another series between the Springboks and All Blacks.
Next year, World Rugby launches the Nations Championship, taking place in the July and November Test windows and featuring the leading teams in the world – the Six Nations sides, their Rugby Championship counterparts and two more invited teams.
“Looking ahead, our joint venture is committed to driving the next chapter of southern hemisphere rugby,” Sanzaar CEO Brendan Morris said.
“After listening to what supporters, broadcasters and our stakeholders want, we’ve worked with the unions to craft a bold and dynamic schedule.”
