This guide will tell you about every confirmed South Africa rugby fixture in 2025, for both the men’s and women’s teams.

Last year was a memorable one for the double world champion Springboks, who won all but two of their matches in 2024. This year’s international schedule kicks off when they welcome Italy and Georgia for a trio of July Test matches, before Rassie Erasmus’s men set out to retain the Rugby Championship they won so convincingly last time out. Their final game of that campaign, against Argentina, will be played at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, as the tournament comes to the northern hemisphere for only the second time in its history.

The Springboks will then be north of the equator again in November, for Autumn Nations Series games against France, Italy, Ireland and Wales.

The women’s side, meanwhile, have qualified for the Rugby World Cup next summer, and kick off their tournament with pool matches against Brazil, Italy and France.

f you’d like to read more about the South Africa rugby team, here are our 12 top Springboks of all time.

You can see other teams’ schedules in our guides to upcoming England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales fixtures.
