The competition is operated by SANZAAR, a joint venture of the four countries' national unions, and known for sponsorship reasons as The Castle Rugby Championship in South Africa, The Fortinet Rugby Championship in New Zealand, The eToro Rugby Championship in Australia, and The Zurich Rugby Championship in Argentina.[1]

The tournament was restructured for the first time since Argentina joined the competition, with each team playing their games both home and away. Each country hosted three games, but not evenly across the competing nations.[2] Argentina hosted Australia twice and South Africa once; Australia hosted South Africa twice and New Zealand once; New Zealand hosted Argentina twice and Australia once; and South Africa hosted New Zealand twice and Argentina once.

Notes
  1. The Argentina vs. South Africa match was originally scheduled to be played at the José Amalfitani Stadium in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Liniers; however, the venue was changed to the Estadio Libertadores de América in the nearby city of Avellaneda on 14 September as the Argentine Rugby Union determined that the original venue did not meet the "necessary conditions for holding an international rugby match" following an inspection on 12 September.[3]
  2. Michael Hooper was selected and named captain of the Wallabies in the initial squad for the first test against Argentina in round one,[4] however less than forty-eight hours before kick-off, Hooper withdrew from the squad, citing personal reasons.[5][6] James Slipper was named captain for the remainder of Hooper's sabbatical.[5][7]
  3. In the round five match between Australia and New Zealand, Cane failed a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) in the first-half and the captaincy was replaced by Sam Whitelock.[8][9]
