Autumn internationals dates and times 2025?

if anyone has any info on the date of the NZ game in Chicago that would be great! I would assume it will either be the first game weekend in November the 1st of the last weekend of November the 29th.

here are the confirmed games :

France SA, France Australia, England Argentina, Wales Argentina, Scotland Argentina

Looks like it is in Chicago on the weekend of November 1st if this is correct, comes from this clip for the breakdown programme on Sky Sports NZ and the All Blacks YouTube channel has posted it so you'd hope the would have okayed this, around the 26:53 mark.

official schedule :

Many of the teams you've mentioned will be playing tier one nations during the summer. Ireland are playing Portugal as well as Georgia and Romania. Scotland touring the pacific islands I think.

The likes of Spain wouldn't learn much from traveling to Dublin in November playing a fully stacked Irish squad.

But no other tests between themselves and 6 nations sides between next summer and the world cup which isnt good enough if you want to grow the sport. Spain wouldnt even have to play a full strength irish side. Or scottish or english. It could be a 2nd choice but would be better than no game. How do we grow the game if these countries get no or feck all chances to play the top established countries outside of world cups.

'Extended' / Ireland 'A' / Wolfhounds / (insert title here) sides should be touring (perhaps in conjunction with another Tier 1 nations) to Tier 2 nations. Tier 2 / 3 nations touring Ireland would (with the exception of Georgia) be cost prohibitive & require World Rugby funding.

Would Ire v Wales in Lisbon with Ire A & Wales A playing Portugal not be an improvement on the laughable 'warm weather training' ?

Ireland are playing Japan (think they are T2), Portugal, Romania and Georgia in 2025 alone. I'd say we are doing our bit.

Japan arent tier 2 any more and dont think a lions year counts as its about only time we do have a few games against non 6 nations/rugby championship sides. And we wonder why we cant grow sport more…

Its all of the so called tier 1. Rugby championship sides are same. Need to do more and play more tests against their nearest aides who are not in top level competition every year.

Yeah I live in Chicago and a friend of mine and my brother are coming over to visit me for it, and the prices are shocking for a test match. Didn't bother me as the lads bought my ticket in return for putting them up for the week but still. Soldier field is notoriously expensive for NFL games too, but it's the fees ticketmaster add on that would drive you cracked. It'll be a great occasion though! Lovely time of year in Chicago.

Jesus that's terrible pricing, we paid maybe 120-ish (albeit up in the high upper tiers). That's America baby!
