All Blacks Tours, offering tickets and tour packages for the full duration of the All Blacks schedule, still have packages available for Auckland’s highly anticipated double-header event, when the All Blacks and Black Ferns take on Australia at Eden Park on 17 August 2019.

The budding rivalry between New Zealand’s Black Ferns and Australia’s Wallaroos is fast becoming one of the most intense in all international women’s test rugby. The Black Ferns will defend the Laurie O’Reilly Trophy, which they have held on to since its inception in 1994, in front of a home crowd as the trans-Tasman battle continues to intensify.

Following the high-profile women’s clash, the World Champion All Blacks will take on the arch-rival Wallabies in a blockbuster clash to decide the Bledisloe Cup following the two sides’ first clash in Perth on 10 August. The clash will be the last chance to see the All Blacks in action on their home turf before the Ruby World Cup kicks off in Japan on 20 September.

Tour packages available for the Auckland double-header will provide All Blacks supporters the opportunity to enjoy an action packed weekend in New Zealand’s biggest city, including two nights of four-star accommodation at the Grand Millennium hotel, daily buffet breakfast, an insightful stadium tour, pre-arranged return transfers, All Blacks merchandise, and, of course, tickets to the Black Ferns and All Blacks test matches at Eden Park.
