Most of the matches have been played at the home of Welsh rugby in the city of Cardiff; at Cardiff Arms Park prior to the opening of the Millennium Stadium in 1999. Only two matches have been played away from the Millennium Stadium since then, at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol in 2004 and Twickenham Stadium in 2026.
