2013 Australia national rugby union team tour of Great Britain, Ireland and Italy

The 2013 Australia national rugby union team tour of Great Britain, Ireland and Italy was a rugby union tour between the away team Australia and the homes teams of England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. They also played an additional Test match against New Zealand, which acted as the third and final Bledisloe Cup match for 2013.

As part of the tour, they attempted their first Grand Slam tour of the Home Nations since 2009 following their 2–1 defeat to the British & Irish Lions in June 2013. However, their first Grand Slam victory since 1984 was not possible, following their 20–13 defeat to England in the opening week of their tour, which also meant they were unable to retain the Cook Cup.

The Wallabies became the first team to score 33 points against New Zealand in New Zealand during the third Bledisloe Cup match, and were also able to retain the Lansdowne Cup against Ireland. They also reclaimed back the Hopetoun Cup for the first time since 2006, after losing it in 2009 and unable to reclaim it in 2012. Australia also won the James Bevan Trophy for the eighth time and for the sixth time in a row in the closing match of their tour.
