7:01 pm on 24 May 2010

New Zealand will host a series of three-Test rugby tours between 2012 and 2014 starring England, France and Ireland, as part of the new global schedule.

Ireland are first up in 2012 for what will be their first ever three-Test series with the All Blacks.

France tour the next year in the first three-Test series against New Zealand since 1968, while England will tour in 2014 in what will surprisingly also be their first ever three-Test series against New Zealand.
