England are to tour Australia next June in a historic three-match series, the first of it's kind between the two proud rugby nations.
The teams, who will also meet one another in the Rugby World Cup in October later this year, have a rivalry which dates back to 1909.
Series will be a 'massive challenge'
England head-coach Stuart Lancaster, whose contract runs until 2020, said that the tour would be "a massive challenge and one to really look forward to.
"We haven't toured Australia since 2010 so for most of our squad it will be their first opportunity to play a senior Test there and I'm sure it will be a great series."
The opening match in the series will take place at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday 11 June, with the second Test a week later at AAMI Park in Melbourne.
The final Test on Saturday 25 June, will take place at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, with England's last visit here taking place back in 1997, when the Wallabies came out on top, 25-6 winners over the tourists.
Sides were level back in 2010
The last series between the two sides on Australian soil took place in 2010 and saw the teams draw 1-1, with Australia winning the opener in Perth, before England levelled the series with a memorable 21-20 victory at the Telstra Stadium in Sydney.
Destined to be a 'special' series
Australian coach, Michael Cheika, said that the rivalry between the sides: "will make this three Test series something special.
"To represent your country in three Tests against the old enemy in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney is something that does not happen all the time and I am sure we will make the most of the opportunity."
The two nations have met 43 times, with Australia having won 24 of those encounters, and England 18, with a 15-15 draw taking place betwen the two sides at Twickenham in 1997.
