The 2025 U20 Rugby Championship, also known as 2025 TRC U20, was the second edition of the rugby union competition, the U20 Rugby Championship, the under-20 equivalent of The Rugby Championship, played by senior men's teams of Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The tournament dates and venue were announced in April 2025, being hosted by South Africa, with every match being played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha (formerly called Port Elizabeth), Eastern Cape.[1][2][3]
New Zealand were the defending champions.[4] On 11 May 2025, New Zealand defended their title, defeating the hosts South Africa in a close match, 45–48.[5] Before the final match, Australia's 40–36 win against Argentina earlier in the day jumped them up into first place.[6]
