All Blacks home Tests sell out across inaugural Nations Championship
The home campaign got off to a memorable start last Saturday, when a crowd of 29,152 packed One New Zealand Stadium for the venue's first-ever All Blacks Test against France, creating an electric atmosphere in Ōtautahi.
Attention now turns to a sold-out Hnry Stadium this weekend, where 32,450 fans will be on hand to watch the All Blacks take on Italy in Wellington. The home series will then conclude in front of 46,800 supporters at a sold-out Eden Park when the All Blacks host Ireland.
The sell-outs reflect the enduring support for the All Blacks and the excitement surrounding the inaugural Nations Championship, which brings together 12 of the world's leading rugby nations.
Christchurch set the tone before the opening Test, with tickets to the All Blacks' first match of 2026 selling out in just four hours across pre-sale and general sale. Wellington and Auckland have since followed suit, with every available ticket for the All Blacks' home Nations Championship Tests now claimed.
Fans without tickets are encouraged to keep an eye on official channels, as a limited number of seats may become available closer to match day through ticket releases or returns.
Supporters are reminded to purchase tickets only through official channels at tickets.allblacks.com or via Team All Blacks communications.
