2019, being a Rugby World Cup year, will see the Bledisloe Cup cut to two matches. The Wallabies will take their home game to Perth in a historic match that will see the Bledisloe contested in Western Australia for the first time.

The 2018 series was claimed by New Zealand, after they won the first two matches in convincing fashion.
The third match – also won by the All Blacks – was played in Yokohama, just outside Tokyo. The match gave both teams an opportunity to experience conditions in Japan ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, which will be the first such tournament to be held in Asia.
