List of Australia national rugby league team players

There have been over 830 rugby league footballers who have been selected to represent Australia since the nation first started playing international matches in 1908.

The Australian Rugby League administered the team and maintained the Australian national rugby league team or "The Kangaroos" players register, assigning each player an individual cap number[1] until 2012 when this was taken over by the Australian Rugby League Commission.

New Zealand players who were selected to play for 'Australasian' representative teams are also included.

Super League test appearances, although counted as such by their overseas counterparts, have been disregarded by the sport's Australian governing body so are excluded from their register.

During the split season of 1997, the Australian Super League organisation held internationals with New Zealand and Great Britain.
