The 1894 New South Wales tour of New Zealand was a rugby union tour of New Zealand undertaken by the New South Wales (NSW) representative side.
The New South Wales team, known as "Cornstalks",[1] played their twelve tour matches in only one month.
[2] Their wins in the South Island included the only match against New Zealand, which was an 8–6 victory in Christchurch.
Reflecting on the tour after returning to Australia, members of the team claimed that the wet weather they experienced in the North Island accounted for their poor results there, with the New Zealander's displaying much better ball handling skills in such weather.
