Nations Championship 2026

Autumn rugby is getting a major upgrade in 2026 with the launch of the inaugural Nations Championship – bringing together the best teams from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres for a new international tournament.

Featuring England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy against rugby powerhouses South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina, alongside Fiji and Japan, this is a competition you won’t want to miss.

After three rounds of summer action, the tournament returns this autumn for three more rounds of fixtures, followed by a big finals weekend. With four weekends of international rugby taking place throughout November, there’s no better place to catch every unforgettable moment than at Greenwood.

The action kicks off on Friday 6 November with Ireland vs Argentina! We’re teaming up with Guinness throughout the tournament to bring you a host of special moments and great rugby on the big screens.

Whether you’re backing your home nation or cheering on the southern hemisphere giants, gather your mates, grab a pint and settle in for the biggest autumn rugby has to offer.
