New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia have confirmed three ANZAC Day Bledisloe Cup test matches for 2027, 2029 and 2031.

All three of these games will take place at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, with the Queensland Government providing support for the games. 

New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Lancaster says they couldn't commit to every year, but they're left the door open for future matches to take place in New Zealand.

"We'd need to really be confident that the case was there in terms of the fans' appetite, the commercial model around it... Australia were keen to go, they had a state Government in Queensland who were very keen to work with them."
