History of rugby union matches between Ireland and New Zealand

The New Zealand national rugby union team first played against Ireland in 1905, during the historic 1905–1906 All Blacks tour of Europe and North America, beating Ireland 15–0 at Lansdowne Road, Dublin. The two teams have played a total of 32 Test matches, with the All Blacks winning 29, losing two, and one ending in a draw in the 1973 test match played in Dublin.

During the 2012 Irish Tour of New Zealand, New Zealand won all three tests, scoring 124 points to Ireland's 29. This tour also saw New Zealand post the biggest winning margin against Ireland in their history, with a score of 60-0 on 23 June 2012.[1] On 24 November 2013, New Zealand were trailing 22-17 against Ireland in the final minute of the match, and on the verge of their first ever loss to Ireland. Ireland gave up a penalty with under 30 seconds remaining, which ultimately led to New Zealand working their way up the field, ending in a try to tie the score. The try was converted at the second time of asking, handing New Zealand their perfect season.[2][3]

Ireland eventually ended a 111-year wait for a victory at Soldier Field, Chicago with a 40-29 win on 5 November 2016.[4][5] On 17 November 2018 Ireland beat New Zealand 16-9 at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin to record their first ever home win against the All Blacks.[6][7]
