"Rugby Australia is an important partner for us, and a strong game in Australia is good for rugby in New Zealand," said New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Lancaster.
"Brisbane has long been seen as a home away from home with a large New Zealand population living there and we see this as a huge opportunity to work in partnership with Rugby Australia to grow the game in a key market," he said.
Each Anzac Day test will form part of a three-test Bledisloe Cup series in 2027, 2029 and 2031, with the remaining two matches played as part of The Rugby Championship later each year, with New Zealand hosting one match, and Australia, the other.
In 2028 and 2030, the Bledisloe Cup will remain a two-match series, due to Nations Championship commitments.
the last time the Wallabies held the Bledisloe Cup was in 2002.
