Bledisloe Cup 2020

The 2020 Bledisloe Cup is scheduled to take place from August 8 – October 17, 2020 but could be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic 

Running since the 1930s, the Bledisloe Cup is a rugby union competition played between the national teams of Australia and New Zealand.

The Bledisloe Cup fixtures are known as Test matches and take place between the Wallabies and All Blacks.

Since 2016, the Bledisloe Cup has consisted of three matches played annually, while two of the matches also count toward The Rugby Championship.

The 2019 Bledisloe Cup was a two match competition as 2019 is a Rugby World Cup year.

First instituted in 1931, New Zealand have claimed the Bledisloe Cup 47 times with their 2019 victory, and have have held the trophy from 2002 up until present.

Australia have won the Cup 12 times, including five on the trot from 1998 to 2002.

From 2016 – 2018 before one match was dropped in 2019 due to the Rugby Union World Cup taking place that year, both teams split home field advantage with New Zealand receiving two home games in 2018 in Yokohama and Auckland. Traditionally, the first two games of the series were played in late August, while the third and final game was contested in late October.

The Bledisloe Cup 2019 featured just two games due to the Rugby Union World Cup being played in the same year.

Game 1 was also an historic match with Australia hosting New Zealand in Perth, the first ever Bledisloe Cup match played in WA.

New Zealand were the defending Bledisloe Cup champions heading into the 2019 tournament having enjoyed a three-match clean sweep in 2018 – their 16th consecutive title success.

They made it 17 consecutive Bledisloe Cup series wins when the 2019 tied result (one game each) saw the All Blacks retain the trophy.

The 2020 Bledisloe Cup is set to again feature three games, two in Australia and one in New Zealand, from August 8 – October 17, 2020.
