Lions Tour & Summer Internationals
The Lions Tour of Australia will dominate rugby headlines during the summer of 2025, but the four home unions – England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales – will also undertake their own summer tours.
Full details have yet to be confirmed, but it is expected that England will tour Argentina and the USA; Ireland will tour Georgia and Portugal; Scotland will tour the South Pacific; whilst Wales will tour Japan.
