The 2012 Rugby Championship was the inaugural annual rugby union series between the national rugby union teams of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Argentina.
The Rugby Championship replaced the TriNations which ran from 1996 to 2011 and was contested by New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
The name Rugby Championship was adopted as SANZAAR did not want a name too similar to the Six Nations so the expected name of the Four Nations was not used.
The first Rugby Championship match was played on the 18th of August 2012 and the last was on 6 October. Each team played the other twice on a home and away basis.
At the end of six matches each New Zealand were crowned as Champions.
