The fixture, which will be part of the 2025 Rugby Championship, will be held on October 4, and is just the third time the showpiece fixture will be held in the West Australian capital.
The ledger is currently one-all between with the sides in the West, with the Wallabies claiming a 47-26 victory in 2019, in what is still a record points haul for the men in gold against their Trans-Tasman rivals, and the most points conceded by New Zealand in their history against any nation.
The Wallabies will also play Argentina at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville on September 6 and Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on September 13.
Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh said: “We’re pleased to be able to confirm the Wallabies Home Rugby Championship Test schedule for next year.”
“We saw again this year the massive support for the game in Perth with over 58,000 supporters at Optus Stadium for the South Africa match and I’m sure we’ll see great interest when the Bledisloe Cup Test returns to Western Australia next year.
“Rugby Australia would like to thank our Principal Partner Cadbury, along with our other partners, including our broadcaster Stan and Nine for their ongoing commitment to our game. We’d also like to thank the State Government partners for their continued support in delivering world-class live events here in Australia.”
Western Australia's Tourism Minister Rita Saffioti said: “The Bledisloe Cup is a much-loved sporting event with a track record of huge success in Perth, so we’re very excited to be bringing it back in 2025 in the midst of our golden decade of rugby.
“Having this test match as the only Bledisloe Cup Test on Australian soil next year is a massive coup, and with the passion and enthusiasm rugby fans have for this event in particular, we’re expecting many of them to make the trip across the country to witness this spectacle.
“There’s so much happening for rugby union fans in WA with the HSBC SVNS returning for a second year in January, the Western Force set to play on home turf in the opening fixture of the highly anticipated 2025 British & Irish Lions tour, and of course the entire nation gearing up to host the Rugby World Cup in 2027.”
