The Wallabies will begin their 2026 campaign in front of a full house with confirmation today that tickets are officially sold out for the Australia’s first home Test against Ireland at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, July 4.

Tickets to the Wallabies 2026 home Tests are available to purchase here.

After breaking the all-time home attendance record in 2025, the Wallabies will open the inaugural Nations Championship tournament in front of a packed Sydney crowd as momentum builds towards next year’s epic Rugby World Cup in Australia.

The Nations Championship opener marks the first time the Wallabies have hosted Ireland in Sydney since 2018 and continues a 99-year-old rivalry between the two nations spanning 39 Test matches.

Rugby Australia Chief Executive Officer Phil Waugh said: “To sell out Allianz Stadium a month before kick-off is an important milestone and a powerful reflection of the connection this Wallabies team has built with the Australian public.

“There is nothing quite like the way Australians rally behind the gold jersey. When the nation comes together, fills our stadiums and proudly wears the gold, it creates an atmosphere that lifts our players, inspires our communities and ignites the dreams of the next generation of Wallabies and Wallaroos watching from the stands.

“This support is about more than one Test match. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup on the horizon, we are building momentum for a defining era of Australian Rugby. Every packed stadium, every new fan and every young person inspired by what they see helps strengthen the future of the game, and the passion we are seeing across the country right now is incredibly exciting.”

Tickets are selling fast for the Wallabies’ remaining home Tests in 2026 against France (Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, July 11), Italy (HBF Park, Perth, July 18), Japan (Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville, August 15), South Africa (Optus Stadium, Perth, September 27) and New Zealand (Accor Stadium, Sydney, October 17) as well as Ireland’s Nations Championship clash with Japan at Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium on July 11.
