NRMA Insurance Test Series
Is there anything better than watching Test cricket live from the stands, cheering on our boys as they take on the Aussies in their own backyard?
Sydney
3 - 9 January 2027
The NRMA Insurance Test Series reaches its climax in Sydney with the final Test at the iconic SCG in early 2027. Steeped in history and tradition, the Sydney Test carries a unique weight — where legacies are shaped and series outcomes are decided.
The SCG’s slower surface and evolving conditions demand patience, skill and nerve, creating gripping contests that often go deep into the match. With everything on the line, both sides will arrive knowing this is the last chance to make their mark on the series.
From the buzz of New Year cricket to the drama of a series decider, there’s no better stage for a finale. Secure your Sydney Test package and be there when it all comes down to the wire.
As an official travel provider for the series, Boys Trip are excited to lead a passionate crew of Kiwis across the Tasman to cheer on our boys as they face Australia in their own backyard. Not just for the blokes either, this tour is for guys, girls, couples, families, solo travellers and corporate groups.
