The1924 New Zealand tour rugby to New South Wales was the 11th tour by theNew Zealand nationalrugby union team to Australia.
During theFirst World War the activity of Rugby Union was suspended. In Australia, the sport was initially reprised only in New South Wales (many players switched toRugby league especially inQueensland), so official test matches between the two national sides were not resumed until 1929.
The three most important matches were played against theNew South Wales selection, and New Zealand won the 3 match series 2–1. In 1986 theAustralian Rugby Union accorded Test status to the New South Wales matches played against international teams in the 1920–1928 period, but the matches against the All Blacks are not recorded as Tests by theNew Zealand Rugby Union.
After this short tour, New Zealand played matches in own country against two provincial selections before departing fora tour of Britain, Ireland and France.
