Will Jordan stands alone at the top of the All Blacks’ try-scoring charts after crossing for his 51st Test try against Ireland at Eden Park.

Here are the All Blacks’ top 10 Test try scorers of all time.

From Jonah Lomu’s trailblazing power to Christian Cullen’s breathtaking counter-attacking and Jordan’s remarkable finishing instincts, the list features some of the most dangerous players to wear the black jersey.

1. Will Jordan – 51 tries

A try-scoring phenomenon, Jordan climbed to the top of the standings in 2026 after passing Doug Howlett’s long-standing record. Equally dangerous from fullback or the wing, his speed, support play and ability to appear in the right place have made him one of the most prolific finishers in Test history.

2. Doug Howlett – 49 tries

Howlett held the All Blacks record for almost 19 years after scoring 49 tries in 62 Tests between 2000 and 2007. The electric winger combined genuine pace with exceptional anticipation and rarely needed a second invitation to find the try line.
