2010 end of year rugby tests
Encyclopedia
The 2010 end of year rugby tests, also known as the Autumn internationals in the northern hemisphere, will see Argentina
, Australia
, New Zealand and South Africa
and tour the northern hemisphere. Test matches will also be arranged involving the various Pacific island teams and other non-Tier 1 international sides. This period also marks 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) will play in the end-of-year series.
A number of major milestones occurred, or will occur, during the series:

a. Stephen Moore suffered a back spasm minutes before kick-off and was replaced in the starting line-up by Saia Fainga'a, hence why Fainga'a started the match wearing number 16. Huia Edmonds took Fainga'a's place on the bench and wore number 26.
