History of rugby union matches between England and New Zealand

The National Rugby Union teams of England and New Zealand have been playing each other in test rugby since 1905, with the first meeting between the two nations being on 2 December 1905, when the All Blacks were in England as part of their European and North America Tour.The All Blacks won 15-0 with their points coming from five tries, of which four were scored by winger Duncan McGregor.The All Blacks have never lost more than two consecutive matches to England (once, on losses in November 2002 and then June 2003), and have dominated the rivalry between the teams.The Hillary Shield has been awarded to the winner of England – New Zealand test matches since 2008.The shield is only contested in non-World Cup matches, and is named in honour of Sir Edmund Hillary — the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
