The New Zealand national rugby league side represent New Zealand at rugby league , and are commonly known as the Kiwis, after the native bird of that name. They are administered by the New Zealand Rugby League.

The Kiwis have never won the Rugby League World Cup, though they have reached the final on two occasions: 1988 and 2000. They compete against Great Britain in the Baskerville Shield test series. Matches against Australia are usually termed ANZAC games.

New Zealand hold the honour of being the first international side in rugby league. They were first formed in 1907 by Albert Baskerville to tour Great Britain, and were known as the "All Golds". For more on this see the history of rugby league article.
