All Blacks the most successful international rugby team of all time

The All Blacks: With a history extending back to the 1880s, New Zealand’s national rugby team, the All Blacks, is not only the most successful international rugby team of all time, but also one of the most successful teams in world sport, with a winning Test record of more than 76 percent overall and more than 90 percent since 2012.

The All Blacks play European opponents every year in the Steinlager Series and again at the end of the year, and play Argentina, Australia and South Africa annually in the Investec Rugby Championship.

The All Blacks were crowned Rugby World Cup Champions in 2011 to add to their Webb Ellis Cup win in the inaugural Tournament in 1987 and in 2013 became the first international team in the professional era to go through the season unbeaten.

The team has been named the IRB Team of the Year a record seven times.
