New Zealand rugby fixtures 2026: When the All Blacks and Black Ferns are playing this year

This guide to New Zealand rugby fixtures rounds up every confirmed game on the All Blacks’ and Black Ferns’ schedules in 2026 – and beyond.

The All Blacks head into this year’s campaigns under new management, with Dave Rennie now installed as head coach. He won’t be given a gentle start in the job, either, as the inaugural Nations Championship (which kicks off with France’s visit to Christchurch) will be followed by a long tour to New Zealand, billed as “Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry”. And while there’s no Rugby Championship this year, the men’s team still have their annual tussle with Australia, aka the Bledisloe Cup, to look forward to.

The Black Ferns failed to retain the Rugby World Cup after they lost to Canada in the semi-final. However, they did come away with the bronze medal, and will be looking to be back to their best as the next RWC cycle begins. They’ve already competed in the Pacific Four tournament this month, and have matches against Australia, South Africa and France scheduled later in the year. 2027 will see the British & Irish Lions embarking on their first ever tour to New Zealand.

Beyond the upcoming New Zealand rugby fixtures you’ll find below, we’ve also got guides to upcoming England, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales fixtures. For other international and club sides, check out our detailed round-up of rugby fixtures around the world.
