The 2015 end-of-year rugby union internationals, also known as the Autumn internationals in the northern hemisphere, saw teams that failed to qualify for the 2015 Rugby World Cup play various test matches. The Australian Barbarians, formed for the first time since 2010, played an away series against a New Zealand Heartland XV side, while a Basque Select side hosted Chile. Spain later hosted Los Cóndores for the first time on Spanish soil, while European rivals Germany toured Brazil for a 2-test series. Argentina, the only team who competed in the World Cup, competed the Killik Cup when they played the Barbarians for the first time since 1990.

Notes:

  • Xerom Civil and Jonathan García made their international debuts for Spain.
  • Iñaki Gurruchaga, Sebastián Parra and Raimundo Piwonka made their international debuts for Chile.
  • Notes:

  • This was the first time the Barbarians had played Argentina since 1990, with the Pumas claiming the Killik Cup for the first ever time.
