List of rugby league tours

Numerous tours have occurred throughout history and have been mostly carried out by the top three rugby league nations Australia (Kangaroos), Great Britain (Lions), and New Zealand (All Blacks/Kiwis).

Tours historically consisted of a number of non-test matches against club or composite teams and single-match tests against national sides, before a three-game test series against the national side of the tour's primary destination.

These three-game test series were the primary event of the tours and would often be their own competition, the most famous being The Ashes.

More modern tours have often skipped non-test matches to play only the "primary event".

Prior to 1954 and the first Rugby League World Cup, tours were the main form of international competition in the sport.
