The Rugby Championship

The Rugby Championship is an annual international rugby union competition involving four national teams: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina. Each team plays others twice in a round-robin format, earning points for wins, draws, and bonus achievements. The team with the most points at the end of the series is crowned champion. The tournament showcases high-level rugby, intense rivalries, and cultural pride, and serves as a key event in the international rugby calendar, often impacting world rankings and team preparations for other major tournaments like the Rugby World Cup.
