All Blacks And Fiji To Clash In Landmark Test Match In San Diego

New Zealand’s All Blacks will face Rugby World Cup quarterfinalist Fiji in a historic test match at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

The match will take place July 20 and follow on from the All Blacks two test series against England. 

Speaking on the decision to take one of their test matches to the United States, New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson said:

“There is no better way to start the year on home soil. To have four of the first five tests of 2024 at home in Aotearoa, Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland is a great result, and we’re excited to be taking the All Blacks to San Diego to play Fiji. 

"It’s been a long-held ambition for New Zealand Rugby and part of our wider strategy to increase the visibility and understanding of rugby in North America and to build our brand presence ahead the men’s and women’s Rugby World Cups in 2031 and 2033, respectively. 

"The All Blacks and Fiji share a deep connection to the game of rugby and to the Pacific region, and we’d like to thank USA Rugby and our event partner TEG Rugby Live for embracing the opportunity to bring this test to America. 

"We want to deliver an event that will capture the imagination of sports fans across the United States and showcases the best qualities of our game. It promises to be unique and entertaining afternoon of rugby and Pacific culture and a great advertisement for the game.” 

The All Blacks are no strangers to playing the United States, having previously faced the USA Eagles in Washington and Ireland in Chicago in recent years.
