新西兰与南非正在进行超过五周的"橄榄球最伟大对抗"巡回赛，这一赛事安排标志着职业橄榄球时代赛历的重大转变1。本次巡回赛包括新西兰与南非地方队Stormers、Sharks和Bulls的比赛，以及四场国际测试赛1。这种长期密集的赛程打破了职业化以来相对固定的传统安排，对国际橄榄球日程产生了连锁影响1。
新西兰上一次完整访问南非已经是30年前的1996年，当时他们以2-1的系列赛成绩获胜1。本次南非之行在历史上也具有特殊意义——1981年和1985年的访问计划曾因南非种族隔离政策而被取消1。两国都是橄榄球世界杯的传统强队，南非曾四次夺得世界杯冠军，新西兰则获得过三次1。
这次巡回赛安排也对其他赛事造成了影响：阿根廷将不会在该时间段与新西兰交手，橄榄球锦标赛也被取消1。
New Zealand is undertaking an extended tour of South Africa lasting more than five weeks, branded as "Rugby's Greatest Rivalry," which represents a significant departure from the established professional-era fixture calendar 1. The tour includes four midweek matches against South African provincial sides and four international test matches 1. This marks the first time New Zealand has conducted a complete tour of South Africa in 30 years, since 1996, when the All Blacks secured a 2-1 series victory 1.
The extended commitment to this tour has created substantial ripple effects across the rugby calendar 1. Argentina will not face New Zealand during this period, and the Rugby Championship has been cancelled as a consequence 1. The tour encompasses matches against the Stormers, Sharks, and Bulls, alongside the four test encounters 1. Both nations bring considerable pedigree to the fixture: South Africa has won the Rugby World Cup four times, while New Zealand has claimed three titles 1. Notably, New Zealand's previous attempts to tour South Africa in 1981 and 1985 were cancelled due to the country's apartheid policies 1.
