In the 10 tournaments to date, the All Blacks have lifted the trophy on eight occasions with the Wallabies (2015) and Springboks (2019) tasting success once each.

Interestingly, the only times the All Blacks have failed to win the Rugby Championship have been in Rugby World Cup years when the tournament is reduced to a single round of matches.
