Nations Championship trophy at Horse Guards Parade
The countdown to the inaugural Nations Championship Finals Weekend has reached 100 days, with more than 100,000 tickets already sold.
The three-day international rugby festival will take place at Allianz Stadium in London from November 27-29, bringing the new North versus South competition to its conclusion.
Nations Championship Finals Head to London
The Finals Weekend will feature six matches, with teams finishing in corresponding positions in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere standings facing each other.
The top-ranked teams from each hemisphere will contest the Grand Final for the inaugural Nations Championship Trophy, while results across all six matches will contribute towards determining which hemisphere claims the Nations Championship Hemisphere Trophy.
Allianz Stadium will host the entire Finals Weekend across three consecutive days.
South Africa and New Zealand Lead Standings
The Southern Series produced 18 cross-hemisphere matches in July, with the two hemispheres finishing level on nine victories each and a total of 109 tries scored.
South Africa and New Zealand currently lead the Southern Hemisphere standings after winning all three of their matches and collecting 15 points apiece.
France head the Northern Hemisphere standings with 12 points, followed by Scotland on 11 and England on 10.
November Series to Decide Finals Seedings
The Northern Series will take place on November 7, 14 and 22, with another 18 matches hosted across the UK, Ireland, France and Italy.
Those fixtures will determine the final standings and therefore the six North versus South match-ups for Finals Weekend.
With more than 100,000 tickets already sold, anticipation is building for the first championship finale in London.
