Since 2002, the Bledisloe cup has been won by no Australian team. However, they still have a chance to win the Bledisloe cup this year. The All Blacks are coming to Melbourne on Wednesday. There's a good chance that the Wallabies will lose to the All Blacks and they will be out the running for the Rugby Championship. The Bledisloe Trophy will be held in New Zealand for another season.
Australia and New Zealand will meet in two matches in 2020. The first match will take place in Melbourne on Thursday. The second game will take places in Auckland one week later. If either team wins the two games, they will be guaranteed the Bledisloe Cup. If the Wallabies lose the final match in Eden Park on Sept 24, they can still win the Bledisloe Cup.
The All Blacks and Wallabies have been playing twice per year since 2006 when the Tri-Nations tournament was introduced. The series is abbreviated to three to four matches in World Cup years.
Bledisloe cups have been traditionally played in Australia. The Bledisloe Cup has been contested over the last three seasons in Japan, Hong Kong, and Yokohama. Although the All Blacks have won the majority these contests they have lost to Wallabies at four of the five matches.

Network Ten televised the Bledisloe cup between 1992-95. After the tournament was cancelled in 2008 due to the World Cup, the competition was reconstructed as a two-match series. For the next four seasons, the games were held in the middle of Rugby Championship.
Both the All Blacks as well as the Wallabies are aware that they will be up against a formidable opponent. The Wallabies will need a win in the final Eden Park game. It's been over a decade since they won at Eden Park. A loss on September 24 would be disastrous for the Wallabies. Having not won a match in the previous nine months, they need to win on September 15 if they want to have a chance of winning the title.
Despite their recent struggles, the All Blacks are full of confidence. They should feel ready to face the Melbourne test after their win over Argentina earlier in the month.
