Our best tips
Rugby season runs through autumn and winter, so wrap up warm. Hospitality suites are heated, but you will be outside in the stands for the match itself. Layers are your friend.
Smart casual is the expected standard for rugby hospitality. A blazer or collared shirt works well for gentlemen; ties are welcome but not required. Ladies should dress for a smart daytime occasion.

Getting around
Twickenham station is a 15-minute walk from the stadium, with regular services from London Waterloo. St Margarets and Richmond are alternatives.
Taxis are available from Richmond and Twickenham stations. Road closures apply on match days, so drop-off points are a short walk from the ground.
Several London bus routes serve the area. The 281 and H22 stop near the stadium. Special shuttle services often run from Richmond on international match days.
England and Australia have been locking horns on the rugby pitch since 1909, a rivalry that has produced some of the sport's most dramatic moments. From the first Wallabies tour of Britain to Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal in the 2003 World Cup final, this fixture carries a weight that goes well beyond the 80 minutes. At Twickenham, the atmosphere for an Australia match has a particular edge; the old ground seems to sit up a little straighter when the gold jerseys arrive.

There is no greater rivalry in world rugby than England versus Australia. It brings out the best in both teams.
Australia walked into Rectory Field in 1909 and left with a 9-3 victory that put the rugby world on notice.
On 9 January 1909, Australia played England for the first time at Blackheath's Rectory Field during the 1908-09 Wallabies tour of Britain. Australia won 9-3, announcing themselves as a serious force in international rugby union. It was the beginning of a rivalry that would span more than a century.
Twickenham's hold on this fixture began here; England's 18-11 win in 1928 made it the home of choice for decades to come.
The two sides met for the second time during the 1927-28 Waratahs tour of the British Isles. This time the venue was Twickenham, and England won 18-11. It would be the start of a long association between this fixture and the ground in south-west London, which has hosted the majority of their encounters on English soil ever since.
After nearly two decades away from Twickenham, the 1947-48 Wallabies returned and shut England out completely, winning 11-0.
After a gap of nearly two decades caused by the Second World War, the 1947-48 Wallabies toured Britain and faced England at Twickenham on 3 January 1948. Australia won 11-0 in a match that underlined how the war years had disrupted English rugby. The fixture would remain sporadic through the 1950s and 1960s, with tours the only opportunity for the two nations to meet.
Ella crossed the line in every single Test that tour. Every one.
Mark Ella's 1984 Wallabies are remembered as one of the finest touring sides in rugby history. Ella scored a try in every Test on that tour, including the 19-3 victory over England at Twickenham. His running, passing game was a revelation. The Ella-Mobbs Trophy, introduced in 2022 to replace the Cook Cup, is named partly in his honour, recognising the contribution of the Ella family to Australian rugby.
A single try from Tony Daly was all it took to leave England's Twickenham faithful in silence.
The 1991 Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham was the biggest match in the fixture's history to that point. Australia won 12-6, with Tony Daly's try proving decisive. England, who had bulldozed their way to the final, found themselves outmanoeuvred by a sharper, more clinical Wallabies side. It was a painful afternoon for the Twickenham faithful, and one that fuelled English determination for years to come.
A trophy named for the man who mapped Australia; fitting that Australia won it first.
In 1997, the Cook Cup was introduced as a formal trophy for the annual England v Australia fixture, named after Captain James Cook. Australia won the inaugural contest 25-6 in Sydney on 12 July 1997. The trophy gave the fixture a permanent structure and added stakes beyond the result itself. It was later renamed the Ella-Mobbs Trophy in 2022, honouring Mark Ella and Edgar Mobbs, an England international who died at Passchendaele in 1917.
Seventeen-all, extra time, and Wilkinson's right boot wrote the definitive chapter of this rivalry.
The 2003 Rugby World Cup final in Sydney is the most famous match in the history of this rivalry, and arguably in all of rugby union. With the scores level at 17-17 in extra time, Jonny Wilkinson struck a right-footed drop goal to win the Webb Ellis Cup for England 20-17. It was the culmination of years of English ambition, and sweet revenge for 1991. The image of Wilkinson's boot connecting with the ball remains one of sport's most iconic moments.
Three tries and a swan dive; Ashton announced England's return in the most theatrical fashion possible.
England's 35-18 victory over Australia at Twickenham in November 2010 featured one of the most memorable individual moments in the fixture's history. Chris Ashton scored a hat-trick, finishing his third try with his trademark swan dive over the line. It was a statement performance that signalled England's resurgence under Martin Johnson, and Ashton's celebration became one of the enduring images of the autumn international series.
Two names now grace the trophy: a brilliant Aboriginal fly-half from the 1984 Wallabies tour, and an England captain who fell at Passchendaele.
In 2022, the Cook Cup was renamed the Ella-Mobbs Trophy, honouring two figures from opposite sides of the rivalry. Mark Ella, the brilliant Aboriginal fly-half who lit up the 1984 tour, and Edgar Mobbs, the Northampton and England captain who gave his life at Passchendaele. The renaming reflected a desire to root the fixture in the personal stories and sacrifices that give sport its deeper meaning.
