New Zealand National Rugby Union Team: The All Blacks
More commonly known as the All Blacks, the New Zealand rugby team are the pride of their nation - and with good reason. The All Blacks are the most successful international side in history. New Zealand have won the Rugby World Cup on three occasions and they hold a winning record against every test side they've ever played.
Read on to discover all of the facts and stats about the All Blacks . On this page, you'll find the squad's results and fixtures, the latest New Zealand rugby news and details about the All Blacks at the Rugby World Cup.
Ever since the side played their first test match in 1903, the All Blacks have been truly dominant. The very next year, the team embarked on a 34-game tour of Europe and North America. During this time, they only suffered one defeat.
In the modern era of rugby, the All Blacks have been an unstoppable force. In fact, the majority of test-playing nations have never won a game against the All Blacks. In addition, the team have won The Rugby Championship trophy 16 times and they've completed Grand Slam tours of the Home Nations (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) four times.
In the Rugby World Cup, the New Zealand Rugby team has been truly dominant. Not only have they won the competition three times but they've also finished as runners-up twice and finished third on three occasions. In fact, since the World Rugby Rankings were introduced in 2003, New Zealand have held the top spot for longer than all other nations combined.
As you may expect for such an outstanding team, the New Zealand Rugby team has historically been full of top international stars. Since 2001, an All Blacks player has won the World Rugby Player of the Year award 11 times. Added to this, many former All Blacks have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, including Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw.
The current New Zealand Rugby squad is just as dominant and powerful as any previous versions of the team and top stars such as Beauden Barrett and Damian McKenzie regularly don the famous black strip.
