ANZAC XV

The ANZAC XV was a rugby union team made up of players eligible to represent either Australia or New Zealand, which played against the British Lions in 1989. The name ANZAC comes from Australia and New Zealand's involvement in World War I. In 1989, the team was intended to combine many Wallabies and All Blacks, but most New Zealand players dropped out of the squad before the match.

In 2025, a similar team, the AUNZ Invitational XV. played against the British & Irish Lions in Adelaide during the Lions' 2025 tour of Australia.
