The Bledisloe Cup is the annual rugby union series between New Zealand and Australia, two of the sport’s most storied national teams. It has been contested since the early 1930s and is now tied into The Rugby Championship calendar. In recent seasons the Cup has typically been decided over two home-and-away Tests, with the holder retaining the trophy if the series is drawn. New Zealand are the most successful side historically.

The dates and locations for the 2026 Bledisloe Cup tests are still to be announced.

Since 2022, the Bledisloe Cup has generally been staged as a two-match home-and-away series. The team that wins both Tests lifts the Cup, and if the series finishes level, the current holder retains it. This format raises the stakes for each fixture, particularly in years without a third decider.
