Australia National Rugby Match Tickets

Watch the men from down under with Australia National Rugby tickets. The Australia National Rugby team, called the Wallabees, competes in the sport of rugby union for Australia. The team’s inaugural game was in 1899, playing in a test match against the British Isles team on the Sydney Cricket Ground which was touring at the time. Australia won 13-3.

Australia first played against New Zealand in 1903 in Sydney, with Australia losing 3-22. Australia first fielded a team to tour the British Isles in 1908. Some British newspapers referred to the visiting Australian as “Rabbits,” referring obliquely to the invasive pest problem Australia was experiencing. This term was thought derisive by the Australian players, who replaced the name with “Wallabees.”

Put on your first colors for the team and support the Wallabees with Australia National Rugby tickets. Sir Edward “Weary” Dunlop, who would go on to become a war hero in World War II, competed with the side that won Australia’s first Bledisloe Cup, which is held between New Zealand and Australia. The Wallabees have gone on to compete all nine Rugby World Cups, and have won the championship in more than one as well as finishing runner-up multiple times. Australia also competes each year in The Rugby Championship, which used to be called the Tri-Nations, and has won the event multiple times.
