New Zealand national rugby union team

The New Zealand national rugby union team, also known as the All Blacks, is one of the most successful and celebrated teams in rugby union history. Founded in 1884, they are known for their distinctive black uniforms and the pre-match haka, a traditional Māori war dance. The team has won the Rugby World Cup three times (1987, 2011, and 2015) and is known for its skill, athleticism, and strong team culture. The All Blacks maintain a fierce rivalry with teams from Australia and South Africa, and they are widely regarded as a symbol of New Zealand’s national identity.
