Now in its 87th edition, the 2023 Rugby Almanack records another huge year, including the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship and the Bledisloe Cup, the big end-of-year tour plus the Women’ s Rugby — including the World Cup held in New Zealand — Maori Rugby, Super Rugby, Bunnings Warehouse NPC and Heartland Championship and a full summary of sevens rugby. The Rugby Almanack is the world’ s longest running rugby book of record. It was first published in 1935 to cover the previous season’ s first-class rugby in New Zealand. Since then, it has been published uninterrupted (apart from two combined issues during World War II).
