The Lansdowne Cup is a rugby union trophy competed for by Australia and Ireland. Established in 1999, the cup was donated to the Australian Rugby Union by the Lansdowne Club of Sydney.[1] The cup was launched in advance of the two Test matches played during the 1999 Ireland rugby union tour of Australia.[2] The crystal trophy, made by Ireland's Waterford Crystal,[1] for which the two nations compete was unveiled at a pub in Brisbane on 9 June 1999.[3] Each team have won the Cup eight times, and the fixture nine times, since the inception of the Cup. Ireland are the current (2025) holders, winning in 2025 for the fifth time in succession.
