Pullman Sydney Airport - Luxury hotel - 2026 Bledisloe Cup: Wallabies v All Blacks

Accor Stadium | Saturday 17 October 2026

Few sporting rivalries command the atmosphere and intensity of the Bledisloe Cup, and in 2026 the clash returns to Sydney when the Australia national rugby union team take on the New Zealand national rugby union team at Accor Stadium.

For more than 90 years, Australia and New Zealand have battled for trans-Tasman rugby supremacy, producing some of the most memorable moments in international sport. When these two teams meet, the stakes are always high and the atmosphere electric.

Expect a packed stadium, travelling supporters in black and gold, and the unmistakable roar that builds when the All Blacks perform the haka before kickoff. With Sydney hosting what could be a decisive match in the series, the night promises big hits, fast rugby and the kind of edge-of-your-seat drama that defines the Bledisloe Cup.

For rugby fans, it is one of the standout sporting events on the Australian calendar.
