International rugby union has made a triumphant return in 2024 following a break since the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
South Africa were crowned world champions last October after defeating New Zealand 12-11 in the final in Paris, the All Blacks falling short in their attempt to mount a comeback after captain Sam Cane had his yellow card for a high shoulder challenge upgraded to red.
Those two locked horns again in 2024 during The Rugby Championship, the pinnacle of international rugby union in the latter half of this year, with Australia and Argentina also contesting the competition. It was the Springboks who emerged triumphant for the first time in five years.
New Zealand faced England and Ireland during engrossing Autumn Internationals, while the Wallabies also have a string of Tests against the UK nations and Ireland.
Below is the schedule of matches for the world's top international teams for the remainder of 2024.
