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, having cancelled a tour to Japan and New Zealand in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] That 2013 tour saw Japan record 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.[2] Before the series, a Japan XV will play a match against the Māori All Blacks.[3]
