Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry is coming to Baltimore…and we’re turning it into a WORLD-CLASS party.
The iconic clash between the South Africa Springboks and the New Zealand All Blacks—a battle that only happens every four years—has chosen Baltimore for its historic fourth Test in 2026.
And if the world’s greatest rivalry is coming to our city…you already know what that means. It’s time for The TailGOAT: Rugby Edition.

Rugby's most iconic international rivalry is coming to the United States for the first time, with M&T Bank Stadium - the home of the NFL's Baltimore Ravens - welcoming the two teams on Saturday 12 September 2026.
The announcement reflects the collective ambition of SA Rugby, New Zealand Rugby and World Rugby to grow the game in the United States. As the region builds toward hosting Rugby World Cup 2031 (men's) and 2033 (women's), World Rugby and member unions are partnering to strategically position premium international rugby in key U.S. markets.
Bringing two of the sport's most storied teams to Baltimore, a Rugby World Cup 2031 applicant city, highlights this collaborative approach to developing new audiences, accelerating fan engagement and inspiring the next generation of rugby supporters.
