The 150th anniversary of Test cricket is fast approaching, and in March 2027, Australia and England will commemorate this historic milestone with a one-off Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
This match will mark 150 years since the very first Test was played at the same venue in 1877, where Australia defeated England by 45 runs—a victory they would remarkably repeat exactly 100 years later during the Centenary Test in 1977.
The 1977 match remains legendary, with thrilling performances, including two centuries and an incredible 11-wicket haul by Dennis Lillee. The upcoming 150th anniversary Test promises to be just as exciting, and cricket fans from around the world will want to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Black Opal Travel is offering the chance to experience this historic match in style, though itineraries and packages are still in development. If you’re a cricket enthusiast eager to attend, now is the time to register your interest. In addition to this special match, Australia will host the Ashes in 2026, making the next few years a golden era for cricket tours Down Under.
