Black Ferns and All Blacks double-header

The international rugby season begins in style this winter for Wellington. Rivalries are reignited on the field in July with two huge international games at Sky Stadium. The double-header will get adrenaline flowing for both the crowd and players.

First up in women’s rugby, the Black Ferns face Australia in the O’Reilly Cup. This will be the last opportunity for Kiwis to cheer on the Black Ferns before they head off to the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England. That match is closely followed by the men’s game. In the July Series, the All Blacks take on old foes France. They aim to protect a proud unbeaten record against the Tri-Colours in Wellington that stretches back seven Tests to 1961.

Both games are expected to be thrillers as our national rugby teams take on worthy adversaries. On 12 July, don’t miss your chance to experience world-class action from the Black Ferns and the All Blacks live in Wellington.
