All Blacks squad confirmed for Autumn Nations Series 'Grand Slam' Tour

In that match from nine years ago, Ireland beat an all-conquering New Zealand side for the first time, running out 40-29 winners in Chicago.

The All Blacks will then travel to the United Kingdom for consecutive matches against Scotland, England, and Wales. It will mark the first time in fifteen years that the All Blacks have embarked on a 'Grand Slam tour', defined as a touring Southern Hemisphere team defeating all four Home Nations.

It is 100 years since the All Blacks’ first Grand Slam attempt, the 1905 northern tour by the team that would become known as ‘The Originals’. The All Blacks have since achieved a Grand Slam four times - in 1978, 2005, 2008, and 2010.

All Blacks Head Coach Scott Robertson said the 2025 tour represents a special moment for the squad.

“There is a lot of history that has led up to this opportunity for our group, so we will be honouring and taking inspiration from the feats that have come before us.

“The rematch against Ireland at Soldier Field will be a huge occasion, and then facing some of the northern hemisphere’s best at their home grounds is a fantastic challenge for us. We are looking forward to this very special tour.”
