1893 New Zealand rugby union tour of Australia

The 1893 New Zealand tour rugby to Australia was the second tour by the New Zealand national rugby union team to Australia.

It was the first tour arranged by New Zealand Rugby Football Union, which had been founded the previous year.

The only previous New Zealand national team was the side that toured New South Wales in 1884.

Immediately before departing for Sydney, the tourists played a match against a "Combined XV" in Wellington, which New Zealand won 7–4.
