Revision as of 09:02, 10 December 2024
The 2025 mid-year rugby union internationals (also known as the summer internationals in the Northern Hemisphere, and winter internationals in the Southern Hemisphere) are international rugby union matches that will be mostly played in the Southern Hemisphere during the July international window. 2025 will see the British & Irish Lions touring Australia. It is expected to be the last mid-year window in which “Tier I” countries (the SANZAAR teams and teams that make up the Six Nations Championship) compete in the non-organised format, following the creation of the Nations Championship.[1]
