Anzac Day Test Confirmed, Bledisloe Cup to Change
- On Sunday, Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby confirmed that Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium will host Bledisloe Cup Tests on Anzac Day in 2027, 2029, and 2031.
- Negotiations for the fixture previously appeared to collapse in 2025, but the deal was revived late last year under new NZR management, fulfilling a long-term vision for RA.
- This Anzac Day fixture expands the Bledisloe Cup to a three-match series in those years, a format RA believes will attract millions of viewers across both nations.
- The 2027 event will likely feature a clash between the Wallaroos and Black Ferns, while the impact on the Super Rugby Pacific season remains under review.
- Future schedules leave 2028 and 2030 open, providing scope for New Zealand to host Anzac Day games despite Brisbane securing the 2027, 2029, and 2031 dates.
