Anzac Day Bledisloe Cup 2027: Your guide to Brisbane’s historic rugby double-header

Clear the calendar, rugby fans: Brisbane is gearing up for one huge trans-Tasman weekend.

For the first time in 123 years of rivalry, the Wallabies and All Blacks will meet on Anzac Day, going head-to-head in a historic Bledisloe Cup Test at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday 25 April 2027. And now, the stakes are even higher, with the Wallaroos taking on New Zealand’s Black Ferns in the O’Reilly Cup as part of a blockbuster international rugby double-header.

Even better, the action starts a day earlier, when the Queensland Reds take on the Auckland Blues under lights at the same stadium on Saturday night.

That’s three Australia-versus-New Zealand clashes across two days and one very good reason to turn a trip to Brisbane into a long weekend. Whether you’re crossing the Tasman, flying in from interstate or road trippin’ from regional Queensland, here’s everything you need to know about the ANZAC Day rugby showcase in Brisbane – plus where to stay, eat and explore while you’re here.
