The most exciting international rugby union event, the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia, will happen from June to August 2025 in Australia. The British & Irish Lions have chosen the team players from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and England. They will play a three-test match series against the Australian national team and also play matches against Australia's four Super Rugby franchises. They'll also take on an invitational side made up of players from Australia and New Zealand, as well as a team made up of players of First Nations and Pasifika heritage.
The Lions had planned to take on the Melbourne Rebels Super Rugby team as well, but those plans were dashed when the Rebels were disbanded in 2024. Instead, a game against the First Nations & Pasifika XV was arranged. Ireland's coach, Andy Farrell, was chosen to coach the Lions on the tour, beginning in January 2024.
