Judgement Day () is an annual Welsh Rugby Union event that takes place at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and is part of the United Rugby Championship competition. The four regions – Cardiff Rugby, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets – join with the Welsh Rugby Union in organising a double-header fixture at the Millennium Stadium. The annual derby day clash will be repeated in the foreseeable future, with the two east Wales regions taking on the two west Wales regions. In 2020, the two matches were held on consecutive days at Rodney Parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing a change to the format of the 2019–20 season and the Millennium Stadium being unavailable due to it being used as the Dragon's Heart Hospital.
After a three-year hiatus, the event returned to the Millennium Stadium for the 2022–23 season with over 40,000 spectators in attendance. The event was moved to the Cardiff City Stadium the following year due to the Millennium Stadium being used for various concerts in June. On 30 May 2024, it was confirmed that the event would return to the Millennium Stadium once again in 2025 with the fixtures taking place in April.
Judgement Day I (2013)
2013 was the inaugural year of Judgement Day, which saw Newport Gwent Dragons play Scarlets and Cardiff Blues play Ospreys.
