— Springboks (@Springboks) September 7, 2024Freedom Cup Up For Grabs TodayThe Freedom Cup will be handed out at the end of the game to either New Zealand or South Africa. The trophy is only given out to the winner of NZ-SA during The Rugby Championship.
The Springboks just need to win to take it home for the first time in 15 years, but the All Blacks need a victory and to create a big enough score differential to win the trophy.
New Zelaand has miraculously owned the trophy since 2010. The Freedom Cup has been in competition since 2004, in the previous Tri Nations Cup.
Here's every winner by year.

All Blacks PredictionHere's a prediction from FloRugby Expert Philip Bendon.
Never count the All Blacks out is one of the most well-worn statements in rugby circles, and for good reason. Rarely have the men from the land of the long silver cloud not responded when their backs have been to the wall. Yet, this previously impenetrable force field of invincibility has been chipped away at to such an extent that they are now one of the pack rather than the alphas.
Ahead of them, the Boks, along with Ireland and France, are the big dogs, with England not far behind. Alongside England, Robertson’s men are now firmly a top-five side, but while they possess the ability to beat any team, they cannot be counted on to do so.
The Kiwis' defense has been the gold standard for the past fifteen years, and as the saying goes, it can be lonely at the top. Throw into the mix a new coaching staff having their first crack at test rugby, and this All Blacks side is far from the complete package they could become in the next few years.
Conversely, the Springboks are riding a wave of confidence on the back of two Rugby World Cup titles. Although the South Africans are more fallible than their fans would lead you to believe, they remain the class of the southern hemisphere in 2024.
For all of the noise around the rivalry, the nuts and bolts of the situation are that South Africa, at this moment in time, just has too much firepower for Scott Robertson’s side. This match will be tight throughout, but when it comes to the crucible moments, the Boks will edge them. South Africa by six.
