The 2025 Rugby Championship[a] is set to be the fourteenth edition of the annual Southern Hemisphere rugby union competition, involving Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. South Africa are the defending champions[2] and kick off the tournament against Australia on 16 August.[3][4] The three traditional unions, also known as the Tri-Nations (SANZAR), announced their 2025 home fixtures in November and December 2024. A notable fixture is set to be played between Argentina and South Africa in the final round at Twickenham Stadium in London.[5] It is the second time a Rugby Championship match has been played at Twickenham Stadium, after the Argentina/Australia test in 2016.[6]

It is also the last tournament before the beginning of the Nations Championship, which turns the event from an annual tournament to a biennial tournament.[7] The next edition of the Rugby Championship is expected to be in 2027.
