The city will host a number of major international matches over the next decade.
Rugby fans may be tempted to book flights to Brisbane over the coming months and years thanks to a major new agreement between the Australian Rugby Union and the Queensland government.
Under the ten-year deal, the state will become the country's "heartland" for international rugby union, with numerous high-profile games set to take place at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
The venue will stage a Bledisloe Cup Test between the Wallabies and New Zealand every time the three-game campaign takes place in Australia, as well as the opening match of every series against a northern hemisphere team.
Suncorp has also been chosen to host one of three Tests between Australia and the British & Irish Lions in 2013.
Queensland premier Anna Bligh said: "These matches will draw visitors from interstate and internationally - that's great for the tourism industry and the jobs it supports."
