Autumn Internationals 2020

The 2020 Autumn International rugby matches were replaced by a new eight-team tournament – the Autumn Nations Cup – which featured the Six Nations teams plus Fiji and Georgia.

In addition, the rescheduled Six Nations matches took place across the final two weekends in October.

The revised schedule meant that the four home unions – England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales – had a very busy autumn of rugby.
