All Whites

History of the All Whites

The All Whites is the name given to New Zealand's national men's team, an association that originated during the 1981 World Cup qualifying campaign that was to ultimately take New Zealand to the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain.

New Zealand adopted an 'all white' playing strip and the name has stuck since, becoming one of the most recognisable sporting brands in New Zealand.

The All Whites have many proud achievements, some of which are detailed here along with generic records for teams and individuals.
