Outside of the 2026 Nations Championship, the 2026 World Rugby Nations Cup, the 2026 Six Nations Championship and other regional tournaments, a series of International matches will be played throughout the year. The All Blacks will play an eight-match tour of South Africa, playing against the United Rugby Championship (URC) sides and four Tests against the Springboks, with the fourth test being played at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
