The match joins a host of events at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which has included Premiership rugby Saracens vs Bristol Bears, Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk and back-to-back NFL London Games, with much more scheduled for 2022 including two Gun N’ Roses and Lady Gaga concerts.

Todd Kline, Chief Commercial Officer at Tottenham Hotspur, said: “Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is honoured to welcome Barbarian F.C. and the New Zealand All Blacks XV, along with their global fan bases, to our world-class facility for our first ever international rugby match. A true global entertainment destination, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is excited to bring the very best of rugby to north London. The match will once again showcase the stadium’s ability to take the hosting of world-class sporting events to the next level.”

John Spencer, President of Barbarian F.C., added: “We are thrilled to announce we will face the All Blacks XV this autumn in The Killik Cup. Playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will also give our spectators a truly exceptional experience. While this state-of-the-art stadium has hosted club rugby matches including the Premiership’s Saracens against Bristol Bears in the past, this is the first time it will play host to an international rugby fixture.

“We will soon be announcing the next Barbarians’ Head Coach and all-star group of players who will put on a show of flair, passion, courage and spirit at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this November. We look forward to seeing you there.”

Paul Killik, Senior Executive Officer, commented: “Our long-standing partnership with the Barbarians is one of shared values – courage, passion and spirit. This year we look forward to welcoming the All Blacks XV to the event for a true showcase of talent at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It will no doubt be a memorable day for all.”
