2022 Rugby Championship

The 2022 Rugby Championship will be the tenth edition of the annual southern hemisphere competition, involving Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The tournament is planned to return to be staged across all competing nations after COVID-19 has meant it's been held in a single country.

The competition was operated by SANZAAR, a joint venture of the four countries' national unions, and known for sponsorship reasons as The Castle Rugby Championship in South Africa, The Fortinet Rugby Championship in New Zealand, The eToro Rugby Championship in Australia, and The Zurich Rugby Championship in Argentina.[1]

The tournament is however restructured for the first time since Argentina joined the competition, with each team no longer player their games both home and away. Each country will host 3 games, but not evenly across their competing nations.[2] Argentina will host Australia twice and South Africa once; Australia will host South Africa twice and New Zealand once; New Zealand will host Argentina twice and Australia once; and South Africa will host New Zealand twice and Argentina once.
