Rugby Australia announced Friday that the Wallabies would play Wales in Sydney on July 6 and in Melbourne on July 13.

Wales beat Australia 40-6 in France last September in the Wallabies’ worst-ever World Cup defeat. The loss, which followed a first defeat to Fiji in 69 years, consigned the Wallabies to their first pool-stage exit at a World Cup.

Under new head coach Joe Schmidt, Australia will also host fellow World Cup pool rivals Georgia in Sydney on July 20.

Brisbane, Perth and Sydney will host Rugby Championship matches with world champions South Africa and finalists New Zealand in August and September.

Australia's 2024 home test schedule:

— vs. Wales July 6 at Allianz Stadium, Sydney

— vs. Wales July 13 at AAMI Park, Melbourne

— vs, Georgia July 20 at Allianz Stadium, Sydney

-

The Rugby Championship/Bledisloe Cup

— vs. South Africa Aug. 10 at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

— vs. South Africa Aug. 17 at Optus Stadium, Perth

— vs.. New Zealand Sept. 21 at Accor Stadium, Sydney
