The French national rugby team, known as XV de France, will challenge the New Zealand All Blacks in a three-match summer tour from July 5 to July 19, 2024. This marks France’s first return to New Zealand since 2018. Matches will take place in Dunedin, Wellington, and Hamilton, with the last match in Hamilton being their first since 1961. New Zealand’s coach Scott Robertson emphasized the significance of these home games against historic rivals as an opportunity to strengthen their game leading up to 2025.
