The All Blacks rugby team have had considerable success in international competition, with particular traditions of defeating the South African Springboks and the Australian Wallabies. Since the introduction of professional rugby, however, New Zealand's small size and lack of financial sporting resource have seen strong challenges to New Zealand's former dominant position in international rugby.

However, still no international rugby team has more wins than losses against the All Blacks rugby team. A number of rugby playing nations have never beaten the All Blacks rugby team at all, despite in some cases over a hundred years of trying. These include Argentina, Canada, Fiji, Ireland, Italy, Samoa, Scotland, and Tonga (although Scotland have drawn twice and Ireland once), to name but a few rugby teams.

Therefore the All Blacks are still the most successful international rugby team in history!
