In July 2024, the England rugby union team toured New Zealand, where they played two tests against the New Zealand national team, a part of the 2024 Summer Internationals.[1] On the way to New Zealand, England also played a match against Japan at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo.

Quick facts Coach(es), Tour captain(s) ...

The tour was first reported by The Times in December 2022,[2] shortly after England coach Eddie Jones was sacked and replaced by Steve Borthwick by the Rugby Football Union (RFU).[3][4] Although Southern Hemisphere tours have typically been played on a three-test basis, as in the 2014 tour; the 2016 and 2022 tours of Australia; and the 2018 tour of South Africa, all Northern Hemisphere touring teams (with Scotland being an exception) returned to two-tests.

The tour was England's first since touring Australia in 2022, and their first tour of New Zealand since 2014. It was Steve Borthwick's first tour as coach of England.[2] Borthwick was previously the England captain when they toured New Zealand in 2008, losing the series 2–0.[2] It was also the first set of fixtures for New Zealand's new coach, Scott Robertson.[1][5]
