Previously the Tri-Nations Cup, with New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, from 2012 Argentina was added to make a 4 team Southern Hemisphere competition. The usual format involved 6 rounds, with each team playing the other twice on a home and away basis. The winner was the top ranked team at the end of the competition. In 2016 there was a change to the way bonus points were allocated. Instead of a bonus point for 4 or more tries, a bonus point would be given for scoring 3 more tries than the opponent in a match as well as the usual bonus point for a loss by 7 or less points. |
|
In 2021 the competition had a draw that was required to allow for travel issues related to COVID-19. Further restrictions meant last minute changes were needed. The matches below is the original draw. Changes will be shown as they become known. |

In 2020 the competition was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and then South Africa pulled out, citing a lack of time to prepare. This left 3 teams to play in the competition, based in Australia. |
