2026 Competition Analysis

All Blacks 2026 Home Schedule

The All Blacks play four home Tests in New Zealand during 2026 — three in the Rugby Championship and one mid-year international. Eden Park remains the fortress it has been for decades, with New Zealand losing just once there since 2004. The Crusaders’ Richie Mo’unga and Blues’ Beauden Barrett debate has resolved itself, with the backline looking settled heading into the RWC build-up cycle.

Super Rugby Pacific 2026 – NZ Franchise Outlook

The four New Zealand Super Rugby franchises have looked sharp in pre-season. The Blues, as reigning champions, enter 2026 as slight favourites to defend their title. The Chiefs have bolstered their roster with two key All Blacks returnees from the Japanese league. The Hurricanes are rebuilding around an exciting young loosehead pack, while the Highlanders look to capitalise on a home draw that sees them face three Australian sides in the opening six rounds at Forsyth Barr.

Key Betting Markets for NZ Rugby Fixtures

Beyond the simple match-result market, licensed bookmakers offer a rich range of rugby betting options: handicap betting (the most popular market for lopsided Tests), first try scorer, winning margin bands, team to score first, and increasingly popular in-play live betting on Super Rugby fixtures. For punters looking for value, the handicap and over/under total points markets often offer better returns than the outright result on All Blacks home Tests, where the odds rarely represent value.
