In July 2025, the France national rugby team are scheduled to tour New Zealand as part of the Summer International calendar. The three-test tour was publicly known as early as July 2024, with French media reporting that the French squad could possibly be without its key, top-performing players as the tour would also conflict with the current domestic competition in France. The domestic competition final would take place just a week before the first tour match in Wellington. It was also reported that the tour would allow for a new generation of French players to pick up more international caps and experience in preparation for the 2027 Rugby World Cup (RWC) in Australia.

Both national unions were in talks of moving one of the three test matches to be hosted in the United States, however the French Rugby Federation reportedly rejected the idea. It will be France's eleventh tour of New Zealand and the eighteenth test-series between the two teams. It is also set to be Fabien Galthié's first tour of New Zealand as the head coach of France. The venue for the third test is Waikato Stadium in Hamilton on New Zealand's North Island. It is to be the first international test France have played at the venue.
