The 2023 Rugby Championship was the eleventh edition of the annual southern hemisphere competition, involving Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
The competition was operated by SANZAAR, a joint venture of the four countries' national unions, and known for sponsorship reasons as The Castle Rugby Championship in South Africa, The Lipovitan-D Rugby Championship in New Zealand,[1] The eToro Rugby Championship in Australia, and The Zurich Rugby Championship in Argentina.[2]
As in previous Rugby World Cup years, the tournament was reduced, with each nation only playing each other once as part of the Championship.[3][4]
New Zealand retained the title, the 20th time they won the title.[5][6]
