So the New Zealand All Blacks retained the Bledisloe Cup again in 2013

Australia last held the Bledisloe Cup in 2002! View past results here.

In 2006, the Bledisloe Cup was held over a 3 game series, but this reverted to a 2 game series in 2007 because of the Rugby World Cup games schedules. In the case of a drawn series, the cup is retained by the previous holder.

In 2008 the Bledisloe cup was a 4 game series, with the 4th game being held in Hong Kong in order to try to promote the game in Asia. The New Zealand All Blacks retained the Cup in 2008 & 2009, and also retained it in 2010 and 2011.

The 2009 Bledisloe Cup, as always, was an exciting series of rugby, avidly followed by fans around the rugby world. The New Zealand All Blacks were the convincing winners of the Bledisloe Cup in 2009 by winning all 4 matches. Graham Henry and his team then proved they were undisputed champions in 2010 by retaining the Cup after 2 games! They retained the Cup in 2011 as well.

The 2010 series was again a 4 game series, with the 4th game being held in Tokyo in order to encourage rugby support in Japan and Asia. If a 4 game series is a draw, the current holder of the cup retains it.

In 2011 it was a 2 game series due to the upcoming World Cup affecting schedules. 2012 was a 3 match series which the New Zealand All Blacks won (though Australia did managed to claw a draw in the last game).

Robbie Deans, ex All Black, ex winning 2008 Super 14 Crusaders coach, ex All Blacks assistant coach (with Wayne Smith for 2003 RWC), was coaching the Wallabies until 2013 when he was replaced.
