In the nine tournaments to date, the All Blacks have lifted the trophy on seven occasions with the Wallabies (2015) and Springboks (2019) tasting success once each.

Interestingly, the only times the All Blacks have failed to win the Rugby Championship has been in Rugby World Cup years when the tournament is reduced to a single round of matches.
