The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in May of this year by the JRFU and New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and the recent revelation that the All Blacks will also tour Japan in October 2024 to face the Brave Blossoms preceded the release of the dates.

The confirmation of these two international matches is fantastic news, and it will be an amazing opportunity for the Māori All Blacks to return to Japan and celebrate our different cultures and customs together the following year.

The exciting schedule of two major international matches for Māori rugby comes after the exhilarating home series against Ireland in 2022.

The Māori All Blacks will play their first matches in Japan after splitting a two-match series against Ireland in Wellington and Hamilton the previous year.

The news that the Māori All Blacks, a side of tremendous significance to New Zealand rugby, will be playing two matches in Japan next year is greatly anticipated. Through these two matches, we hope to share our culture and history with the Asia-Pacific rugby community and to further expand and strengthen the sport there.

We are excited to announce the Māori All Blacks' visit for the upcoming season, which will take place in the autumn, alongside the recent revelation that the Brave Blossoms will welcome the All Blacks XV, who are presently in Japan.
