The 2009 Australia national rugby union tour was a series of seven matches played by the Australia national rugby union team in November 2009.
The "Wallabies" didn't obtain their goal (the Grand Slam), drawing the match with Ireland, and losing, surprisingly, to Scotland. The tour was preceded by a match against All Blacks for the Bledisloe Cup.
