The Bledisloe Cup is the most prestigious trophy in the world of rugby union. The winner of the annual series between Australia and New Zealand is eligible to receive the Bledisloe Cup. It is a popular competition between the two sides and a crucial part of the annual All Blacks playing calendar.
Since 2002 the Bledisloe has been lost to Australia. But, the All Blacks travel to Melbourne on Thursday and have a chance at winning it again. There's a good chance that the Wallabies will lose to the All Blacks and they will be out the running for the Rugby Championship. This will ensure that the Bledisloe cups remains in New Zealand's hands for another year.
New Zealand and Australia will play in two matches in 2020. The first will be played in Melbourne on Thursday and the second game will take place in Auckland a week later. Bledisloe cups will be awarded to any team that wins both the first and second games. If the Wallabies lose the final match in Eden Park on Sept 24, they can still win the Bledisloe Cup.
The All Blacks, Wallabies, and Tri-Nations have played twice every year since 2006. However, in years when the World Cup is held, the series is abbreviated to three or four matches.
Bledisloe Cup is traditionally played in Australia. It has been contested at Yokohama, Hong Kong and Japan in the last three years. The All Blacks won the majority, but they lost to Wallabies four times in five matches.
The Bledisloe cup has been won four times by the Wallabies. They have also won the tournament on New Zealand soil. They have won this competition since 1949.
New Zealand has won The Bledisloe Cup 19 times. Since 1982, they have won the tournament an average of three times per year. Their overall record is unsurpassed by any other nation in the tournament. During this time, the All Blacks won a total of 11 out 13 matches. These victories include a sweep of the series in 2018.
Network Ten televised Bledisloe's Cup from 1992 to 1995. The World Cup in 2008 caused the cancellation of the tournament. The competition was reconstructed as an eight-match series. The four-year-old series was played in the middle section of the Rugby Championship.
Both the All Blacks and the Wallabies know that they face a tough battle against each other. The Wallabies, who haven’t won in over 10 years, will be desperate for a win in this final game at Eden Park. Wallabies could lose the September 24 match. Having not won a match in the previous nine months, they need to win on September 15 if they want to have a chance of winning the title.
Despite recent struggles, the All Blacks remain confident despite all that has happened. Their victory over Argentina earlier this month gave them a boost and they should be ready for the test in Melbourne.
