British and Irish Lions Tours

Season Description
The 2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia, known for sponsorship reasons as the Qatar Airways Lions Men's Series, was an international rugby union tour which took place in Australia between June and August 2025. The British & Irish Lions, a team selected from players eligible to represent England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, played a three-match Test series against Australia, as well as matches against Australia's four Super Rugby franchise teams, one against an invitational team made up of players from Australia and New Zealand, and a match against a team made up of players with First Nations and Pasifika origin. Ireland coach Andy Farrell was appointed as the Lions' head coach for the tour in January 2024. After losing to Argentina in a pre-tour match, the Lions won all their matches in Australia, except the third Test. They won the Test series 2–1. Following the tour, The Independent reported that it was the most profitable tour in history by a significant margin.
