Wales Autumn International rugby match between Wales and New Zealand at Principality Stadium, part of the inaugural Nations Championship.
Wales take on New Zealand at the Principality Stadium on Saturday 14 November, kick-off at 14:10. It's the second of three home fixtures in Cardiff this autumn, and this one is the big one: the All Blacks coming to town.
There's a bit of a new setup to this one. The match is part of the inaugural Nations Championship, rugby's newest title, which pits the twelve biggest international teams against each other. Every point, result and match counts towards the overall standings, so it's not just a one-off friendly—it's a proper league game.
If you've followed the two sides over the years, you'll know the history is heavily weighted one way. They've met 38 times since their first Test in 1905, and New Zealand have won 35 of them. Wales have managed just three, and haven't beaten them since 1953. Their most recent clash was in the 2025 autumn series, and the All Blacks came away with a 52-26 win. That game did give Wales one thing to hold onto, though: Tom Rogers became the first Wales player to score a hat-trick against New Zealand.

It's also a bit of a changing of the guard. That 2025 match was Warren Gatland's final game as Wales head coach, and it ended in defeat. New Zealand went on to take the bronze medal at the 2019 World Cup, so they're coming in with a strong recent record. If you can't make it in person, the match will be shown live on ITV in the UK and VMTV in Ireland.
Tickets go from £68 for Category E up to £128 for Category A+, so there's a fair bit of room to choose where you sit. Kick-off is 14:10 at the Principality Stadium, Westgate Street, Cardiff, CF10 1NS.
