Wales host New Zealand among four 2025 autumn Tests

Wales will face New Zealand for the first time in three years in an autumn series that includes a fourth Test.

Argentina kick off the series at Principality Stadium on Sunday, 9 November and Wales host Japan six days later.

A week after the All Blacks visit the Welsh capital on Saturday, 22 November, Wales host world champions South Africa.

The hosts will be without their non-Wales-based players for that encounter and the Springboks will be similarly affected by the game being played outside the agreed autumn window for international games.

Wales are currently on a 14-game losing streak stretching back to a World Cup defeat by Argentina in October 2023.

They are preparing to face Ireland in Cardiff in the 2025 Six Nations on Saturday, 22 February before games against Scotland and England.

Wales go to Japan for a summer tour while the British and Irish Lions are on tour in Australia.

Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Abi Tierney is looking forward to the autumn series.

"It's always an honour to see our national team take to the pitch in front of our passionate fans, and we look forward to creating more unforgettable memories together," she said.

"We are One Wales, we are ready to rise to the challenge, and we can't wait to see the stadium filled with the energy and pride that only Welsh rugby can bring."
