2526 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series Blog Post

There’s nothing quite like an Ashes series in Australia - and at Gullivers Sports Travel, we couldn’t be more excited to take our guests Down Under once again for one of cricket’s most iconic battles. The 25/26 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series isn’t just a rivalry; it’s a sporting institution. England and Australia have been fighting for the tiny urn since 1882, and every series adds another chapter to a story packed with drama, passion, and unforgettable moments.

What makes the 25/26 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series so special?

It’s the history, the atmosphere, the sheer intensity. The 25/26 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series brings together two nations obsessed with cricket, and every Test feels like an event of its own. From hostile fast bowling to world-class batting duels, it’s a contest where legends are made.

A look back: The last five Ashes series

The last five editions have delivered a rollercoaster of results and emotions:

  • 2023 (England) - A thrilling 2-2 draw in one of the most entertaining series in history.
  • 2021/22 (Australia) - Australia dominated at home, winning 4-0.
  • 2019 (England) - A hard-fought 2-2 draw, highlighted by Ben Stokes’ miracle at Headingley.
  • 2017/18 (Australia) - Australia claimed a commanding 4-0 victory.
  • 2015 (England) - England won 3-2 in a tightly contested, momentum-shifting series.

Two draws, two Australian home wins, and one English triumph show just how unpredictable these head-to-heads can be.

Why the 2023 series was so electrifying

The 2023 Ashes will be remembered as one of the most captivating in modern cricket. Much of that energy came from England’s bold “Bazball” approach - a fearless, ultra-positive style of play under Brendon McCullum. Aggressive batting, attacking fields, and a refusal to back down created matches that swung wildly from session to session. Every Test felt alive, and fans around the world were hooked.

With Bazball now firmly part of England’s identity, anticipation for the upcoming series is sky-high. Could this be the year England crack the Australian fortress?
