The Wales national rugby union team is scheduled to tour Japan in July 2025, as part of the 2025 mid-year rugby union tests. The first test against the Japan national team is scheduled to be played at the Mikuni World Stadium Kitakyushu on 5 July, followed by the second test at the Noevir Stadium Kobe a week later. It will be Wales' third tour to Japan and their first since 2013, during which Japan recorded their only win over Wales in 14 previous meetings, including ten tests. The most recent meeting finished in a 33–30 win for Wales in Cardiff in November 2016.[1] Before the series, Japan will play a match against the Māori All Blacks.[2]
