About the team

New Zealand Rugby’s newest Team in Black, the All Blacks XV, will embark on a European tour in October-November 2022. A match against the Barbarians has been confirmed, with an additional high profile match to be announced soon. Confirmation of the tour comes more than two years after the All Blacks XV was launched as NZR’s next senior national representative team after the All Blacks, and despite COVID delays will add a critical high-performance pathway to the All Blacks. The All Blacks XV follows in the footsteps of similar teams which have assembled throughout New Zealand rugby's history, including the Junior All Blacks, New Zealand A and Emerging Players.
