2012 Ireland rugby union tour of New Zealand
In June 2012, Ireland toured New Zealand playing three Tests against the All Blacks. The Irish tour was one in a series of tours by northern teams to be hosted by southern hemisphere nations.
Marketed as the 'Steinlager Series', it was Ireland's first-ever three-Test series against the All Blacks, and the first three-Test tour of New Zealand since the 2005 British & Irish Lions tour. The series marked the beginning of a global calendar that runs through until 2019, as announced by the IRB in 2010.
In planning the series, it was anticipated that Ireland would also face provincial and Māori opposition, however, to allow Ireland to focus on the Tests, the IRFU decided that there would be no mid-week fixtures.
New Zealand won the series 3–0. In the third and final Test in Hamilton on 23 June, the All Blacks won 60–0, inflicting upon Ireland their largest-ever defeat.
