The USA Men’s Eagles will next head to Japan for the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup 2026 running from September 12-19th.
This will be the 17th edition of the tournament and will feature a revised format with defending champions Fiji, Canada, and USA joining hosts Japan over two match days in Osaka and Tokyo. This evolution reflects the broader transformation of the international calendar with competitions aligned with the recent World Rugby Nations Cup, providing more game time for participating unions.
The four teams will meet in the form of semi-finals played at Hanazono Rugby Stadium in Osaka on September 12th with Fiji tackling Canada before Japan face USA. The action then moves to Tokyo for the third-place play-off and final at Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium on September 19th.
With the participating nations building towards Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 in Australia, the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup 2026 is an important step on that journey, providing competitive fixtures in a period before the quartet resume their World Rugby Nations Cup and Nations Championship campaigns in November.
