The 2019 Rugby Championship was the eighth edition of the annual southern hemisphere Rugby Championship, featuring Argentina, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. The competition is operated by SANZAAR, a joint venture of the four countries' national unions.

The tournament schedule was similar to that of the 2015 edition, being shortened due to the World Cup.

New Zealand was the three-time back-to-back defending champions entering this years Championship. However, South Africa claimed their fourth title, their first since the inception of the Rugby Championship and their first Southern Hemisphere title since 2009.{{cite web|url= https://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/report?gameId=294512&league=244293|title =Pollard stars as South Africa win Rugby Championship|date=10 August 2019|work=ESPN|access-date=13 August 2019}}

They became the third team to claim the expanded Southern Hemisphere championship, following New Zealand and Australia.{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/international/argentina-vs-south-africa-result-score-rugby-championship-title-handre-pollard-springboks-a9051721.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811121647/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/international/argentina-vs-south-africa-result-score-rugby-championship-title-handre-pollard-springboks-a9051721.html |archive-date=2019-08-11 |url-access=limited |url-status=live |title =Argentina vs South Africa result: Handre Pollard scores 31 points as Springboks win Rugby Championship|date=10 August 2019|work=The Independent|access-date=13 August 2019}}

Background

The tournament is operated by SANZAAR and known for sponsorship reasons as The Castle Rugby Championship in South Africa, The Investec Rugby Championship in New Zealand, The Mitsubishi Estate Rugby Championship in Australia, and The Personal Rugby Championship in Argentina.

Format

Because of the 2019 World Cup, the tournament schedule was reduced, as it was in 2015, to each team playing each other once. Australia and Argentina each played two home matches out of the three matches to be played in total. New Zealand and South Africa had one home fixture.{{cite news |last=Breakfast |first=Siviwe |date=10 April 2019 |title=Springboks to take on Wallabies in Rugby Championship opener |url=https://www.thesouthafrican.com/sport/rugby/rugby-championship-2019-fixtures-confirmed/ |work=The South African |access-date=15 May 2019 }}{{cite news |author= |title=SANZAAR reveals full Rugby Championship draw |url=https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/04/09/rugby-championship-schedule |work=rugby.com.au |date=10 April 2019 |access-date=15 May 2019 }} As usual, a win earned a team four league points, a draw two league points, and a loss by eight or more points zero league points. A bonus point was earned in one of two ways: by scoring at least three tries more than the opponent in a match, or by losing within seven points. The competition winner was the side with the most points at the end of the tournament.{{cite web|url=http://www.sanzarrugby.com/therugbychampionship/about-trc/|title=SANZAR - About The Rugby Championship|website=SANZAAR|access-date=14 September 2017}}

Other Cups

Because the Bledisloe Cup is decided in two home-and-away legs, after the end of the shortened Rugby Championship, New Zealand and Australia played for the Bledisloe Cup decider at Eden Park, Auckland, with Australia leading the series 1-0. New Zealand retained the Cup for the 17th consecutive year with a comprehensive 36-0 win, concluding in a 1-1 series result.{{cite news|url=https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/rugby-world-cup-2019/2019/08/rugby-world-cup-2019-bledisloe-cup-stays-in-new-zealand-after-all-blacks-thrash-wallabies.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012003140/https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/rugby-world-cup-2019/2019/08/rugby-world-cup-2019-bledisloe-cup-stays-in-new-zealand-after-all-blacks-thrash-wallabies.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 October 2019|title=Bledisloe Stays in New Zealand After All Blacks Thrash Wallabies|newspaper=Newshub|access-date=4 February 2020}}
