NSW SECURES THE RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP 2020 MATCHES

NSW continues to reinforce its profile as a globally renowned destination for staging international sporting events, with the majority of The Rugby Championship 2020 confirmed to take place across the state.

The NSW Government, through Destination NSW, has secured five of the six double-header rounds of The Rugby Championships 2020, which will see Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and South Africa compete over a six-week tournament.

This will include the highly coveted Australia vs. New Zealand Bledisloe Cup match at Stadium Australia on 12 December 2020, with the remaining matches to be played at Bankwest Stadium in Western Sydney and McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the announcement reinforces the NSW Government’s commitment to growing events across the state as a crucial means to helping rebuild the NSW visitor economy.

“Securing this highly-anticipated international sporting series reaffirms Sydney and NSW’s reputation as Australia’s sporting capital, and delivers broader benefits for the state’s economy,” Mr Ayres said.

“The Rugby Championship is the jewel in the crown of Southern Hemisphere Rugby, so I am particularly delighted that the NSW Government has secured such a fantastic addition to our major events calendar that will have a tremendous impact on our tourism and sporting industries."

Tickets go on sale from 8 October. For more information on the series and to purchase tickets, go to www.rugby.com.au.
