2010 end-of-year rugby union internationals
The 2010 end of year rugby tests, also known as the Autumn internationals in the northern hemisphere, saw Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in a competitive tour of the northern hemisphere. Test matches were also arranged with the various Pacific island teams and other non-Tier 1 international sides. This period also marked the conclusion of the 2011 Rugby World Cup qualifying process, as well as the beginning of the European Nations Cup.
The series saw Ireland play their first Test matches at the Aviva Stadium, which replaces the defunct Lansdowne Road as the side's long-term home and ends the temporary arrangement with the Gaelic Athletic Association which allowed the team to play home matches at Croke Park. The series also marked the first time that two Southern Hemisphere nations simultaneously attempted Grand Slam tours of all four Home Nations, with both New Zealand and South Africa playing all four countries. The Springboks went 3–1 against the Home Nations, losing to Scotland, and also lost to the Barbarians, but the All Blacks were successful for the fourth time and third since 2005.
New Zealand entered the series on a winning streak of 15 Tests. The current record for "Tier 1" nations is 17, which they hold jointly with South Africa; the absolute record is 18, held by Lithuania. New Zealand's streak ended with a 26-24 loss to Australia in their opening game.
In all, 24 of the top 25 sides in the IRB World Rankings (as of 30 September 2010) played in the end-of-year series.[1]
A number of major milestones occurred during the series:
- All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter became the all-time leading points scorer in Test rugby.
- Two major rugby nations had new leaders in Test caps. Victor Matfield became the most-capped Springbok of all time, while Richie McCaw and Mils Muliaina became joint record-holders in Test caps for the All Blacks.
- American Dana Teagarden was scheduled to become the first woman ever to referee a full men's Test match on 18 December - the game was cancelled due to snow.
