The end-of-year rugby union internationals (also known as the autumn internationals in Six Nations countries and the spring internationals in SANZAAR countries) are rugby union games contested by men's national teams during World Rugby's international window in October and November.[1][2]

Matches in this window are held annually except during the years of the Rugby World Cup. In general SANZAAR teams travel in this window. Usually, Second-tier national teams also have games.

Grand Slam tours can occur in this window. This is where a nation plays the four home unions of the British Isles – England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
