The Tri-Nations rugby competition was a rugby series played by the international rugby teams from New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. The competition started in 1996. In 2012, Argentina joined the competition and it is now called The Rugby Championship. |
Due to the Rugby World Cup being held in New Zealand during September and October 2011, the Tri-Nations Cup was shortened so that each team played the other teams twice. Previously they had played each other 3 times.

In the 2008 Tri-Nations rugby competition, SANZAR approved the use of the ELVs (Experimental Law Variations) that were trialled for a 1 year period around the world. These were introduced by the IRB and were intended to speed up the game, make it easier to referee the game, easier to understand and reduce stoppage time. Of the 13 variations trialled, 10 were implemented into Rugby Law in 2009.
