The Tri Nations 2011 is an annual international rugby union series held between Australia's Wallabies, New Zealand's All Blacks and South Africa's Springboks.
The New Zealand All Blacks were the winners of the Tri Nations tournament in 2008, and now 2010. South Africa won in 2009.
The Tri Nations 2011 competition is organized by SANZAR, a consortium formed by the rugby governing bodies of Australia's ARU, New Zealand's NZRFU and South Africa's SARFU.
The first tournament was contested in 1996 and was won by the All Blacks. Since the inception of the Tri Nations series, the games played between Australia and New Zealand also determine the winner of the Bledisloe Cup each year.
The Tri Nations rugby tournament opens after the completion of the Super 14 competition for the year because players from the SANZAR countries are involved in both. The Tri Nations tournament for 2010 began on 17 July and finishes on 11 September when Australia plays New Zealand in Sydney.
The winners of the Tri Nations championship in 2009 were South Africa. New Zealand has won the tournament for 2010. In 2012, the tournament will be expanded to include Argentina. But before, let's enjoy the Tri Nations 2011.
