End-of-year rugby union tests

The End of year rugby union tests, known as Autumn internationals in the Northern Hemisphere, are a series of rugby union test matches that are contested approximately each November. Teams from Europe's Six Nations Championship play against teams of the Southern Hemisphere's The Rugby Championship; second-tier teams, such as those from North American and Pacific countries, also participate.
