History of rugby union matches between New Zealand and Wales

The rivalry is notable for its significant historical imbalance. New Zealand has dominated the head-to-head record, having won 34 of the 37 total Test matches played, including a current streak of 33 consecutive victories since the last Welsh win in 1953. Wales's three victories are historically significant, particularly their first in 1905, which was a controversial match that ended the All Blacks' long unbeaten run on their famous inaugural tour.

This fixture has been in the news recently due to a scheduled autumn international match. Numerous news outlets have been providing live updates, pre-match analysis, and viewing guides for the latest encounter. The headlines generally frame the match as a daunting challenge for Wales against a traditionally dominant New Zealand side, with coverage also extending to details such as the match officials.
