During the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season, the Brumbies again established themselves as one of the competition’s most reliable performers. Across 14 matches, they compiled a 9-5 record and finished with 44 points, placing third in the final standings.
That regular-season performance earned the Brumbies a place deep in the postseason, where their campaign ended as losing semifinalists.
As the 2026 season approaches, the Brumbies are led on the field by captain Allan Alaalatoa and continue under the guidance of head coach Stephen Larkham.
With a full schedule ahead that features both domestic rivals and cross-competition matchups, the Brumbies will look to build on their 2025 foundation and remain a consistent presence near the top of the Super Rugby Pacific table.
