The Wales national rugby union team are scheduled to tour Australia in July 2024 as part of the 2024 Summer Internationals. The first test is to be played on 6 July at the new Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney, New South Wales, with the second test to follow a week later at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in Melbourne, Victoria.[1] A pre-tour match against South Africa on 22 June was announced in February 2024; the match will be played at Twickenham Stadium in London due to a clash with concerts by Taylor Swift and the Foo Fighters at the Millennium Stadium either side of the match.[2] After the two tests, Wales will also play a tour match against the Queensland Reds at Lang Park, Brisbane.[3]
