New Zealand at the Rugby World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Map of nations' best results, excluding nations which participated unsuccessfully in qualifying tournaments
2023 Rugby World Cup match between New Zealand (All Blacks) and Namibia.

The New Zealand men's national rugby union team, known as the All Blacks, have played 56 matches so far in the nine Rugby World Cup tournaments from 1987 to 2019, with an additional match cancelled and unplayed.[1] They won the 1987, 2011, and 2015 tournaments. Until 2023, they qualified in first place from every group until they lost their first pool match in 2023 RWC against France. Their worst performance was in 2007 when they lost a quarter-final to France. They have made it to at least the semi-finals at all the other tournaments.

New Zealand hosted the inaugural tournament in 1987 with Australia as a co-host. New Zealand was the sole host of the 2011 tournament.
