Pitch Experiences Announced as Authorised Reseller for Nations Championship Finals Weekend

Launching in July 2026, the Nations Championship marks a new era in international rugby. Created by Six Nations Rugby and SANZAAR, the biennial tournament will bring together the world’s leading nations from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, alongside invitational teams Japan and Fiji. The competition will take place every two years, outside of Rugby World Cup and British & Irish Lions Tour years, enhancing the existing July and November international windows.

This landmark tournament introduces a new format to the global game, with teams split into two groups, Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Across fixtures held in July and November, each side will face opponents from the opposing group, earning points that determine standings and qualification for the Finals Weekend. Designed to add greater meaning and competitive edge to international fixtures, the tournament represents one of the most significant developments in rugby since the sport turned professional in 1995.

The competition will culminate in a groundbreaking Finals Weekend at Allianz Stadium, where all teams will compete in ranking-based fixtures. The standout clash between the top-ranked teams from each group will determine the overall Nations Championship winner, crowning the best international side in the world.

The Finals Weekend promises to be a unique celebration of rugby, bringing together the sport’s biggest teams and players for a festival-style conclusion on one iconic stage.
