National team


Australian rules football is a sport played in New Zealand rapidly gaining popularity.[citation needed] AFL New Zealand co-ordinate the national team, who have competed in the Australian Football International Cup and crowned international champions in 2005.


Since 2012 the national side has played against the National Australian Under 17 team (NAB AFL Academy). The first game was won convincingly by the AFL Academy by 91 points. 2013 saw the Australian's win by 44 points and in 2014 it took a goal in the final minutes to win their third straight game by only 4 points.


These games have enticed a number of Australian-based players with NZ heritage to commit to the national side. Some of NZ's past and present players include-
