- The 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team was a New Zealand rugby union team that toured Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in 1888 and 1889. It mostly comprised players of Māori ancestry, but also included some Pākehā (white New Zealanders). A wholly private endeavour, the tour was not under the auspices of any official rugby authority; it was organised by New Zealand international player Joseph Warbrick, promoted by public servant Thomas Eyton, and managed by , a publican. The Natives were the first New Zealand team to perform a haka, and also the first to wear all black. They played 107 rugby matches during the tour, as well as a small number of Victorian Rules football and association football matches in Australia. Having made a significant impact on the development of New Zealand rugby, the Natives were inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame in 2008. After a preliminary tour of New Zealand in 1888, the side travelled to England via Melbourne and Suez. The Māori players initially provoked curiosity due to their race, but the British press subsequently expressed some surprise that the side was not as "Māori" as they had expected. Playing their first match, on 3 October against Surrey, the team was subjected to a taxing match schedule, and frequently played three matches per week. Their early matches included a 9–0 loss to Middlesex, but their form improved in November, when they won 10 of their 13 matches. The team played its first match against a national team on 1 December, against Ireland, and won 13–4. This was followed by a win over one of the strongest English county teams, Yorkshire, and a 5–0 defeat against the Wales national team. By January 1889 the Natives had played 36 matches in less than three months, winning 22 of them; they had spent most of their time in the north of England, where the playing strength was strongest and the crowds largest and most profitable. In a return match on 19 January, Yorkshire fielded a stronger side than in the first match and inflicted one of the Natives' heaviest losses, a 16–4 defeat. The team then went undefeated until 16 February, when they faced England. Officials of the strictly amateur Rugby Football Union (RFU) had become increasingly concerned at the behaviour of the New Zealanders, regarding them as unsportsmanlike, and tensions reached a nadir in the aftermath of the England match, during which the RFU secretary George Rowland Hill, refereeing the game, awarded some controversial tries to England, prompting three of the Natives to temporarily leave the field in protest. England eventually won 7–0. The Natives apologised afterwards for their behaviour, but the damage remained. The New Zealanders left England without an official send-off, and travelled to Australia where they toured Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. They then returned to New Zealand, where they displayed a level of combination not seen in their home country before. They went 31 games undefeated before losing their final match, on 24 August 1889, 7–2 to Auckland. The Natives' final record in rugby matches was 78 wins, 6 draws and 23 losses. They introduced tactical innovations to New Zealand rugby on their return home, and their tour contributed to the formation of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union in 1892. Seventeen of the team's 26 players went on to play provincially in New Zealand, and two, Thomas Ellison and David Gage, subsequently captained the New Zealand national rugby team. (en)
- Die New Zealand Natives (deutsch Bewohner Neuseelands) waren eine neuseeländische Rugby-Mannschaft, die 1888 und 1889 durch Neuseeland, Australien und Großbritannien reiste. Die von Privatleuten gesponserte Mannschaft umfasste 26 Spieler. Sie besaß keinen offiziellen Charakter (der Verband New Zealand Rugby Football Union wurde erst 1892 gegründet), war fast ausschließlich aus Māori zusammengesetzt und war die erste Auswahl aus einer britischen Kolonie, die im Mutterland Großbritannien zu Gast war. 2008 wurde die Mannschaft in die World Rugby Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Während ihrer zehn Monate dauernden Tour trug die Mannschaft 107 Spiele aus. Die New Zealand Natives gewannen 78 Spiele, verloren 23 Mal und erreichten sechs Mal ein Unentschieden. Daneben wurde in einzelnen Fällen in Australien auch Australian Football und Fußball gespielt. Seit 1910 führen die Māori All Blacks die Tradition einer aus Vertretern der neuseeländischen Ureinwohner bestehenden Auswahlmannschaft fort. (de)
- Los New Zealand Natives es el nombre que reciben los primeros Māori All Blacks, estos fueron el primer equipo neozelandés que partió de gira a Europa y la misma se realizó en el Reino Unido durante fines de 1888 e inicios de 1889. Pasaron a la fama porque fueron los primeros en vestirse de negro, usar como distintivo un helecho plateado, realizar el haka y ser llamados por los periodistas británicos: All Blacks. Jugaron 107 partidos contra clubes y ganaron más del 90%, jugaron tres test matches enfrentando por primera vez a Gales, Inglaterra e Irlanda y consiguieron la victoria ante el XV del Trébol. En 2008 el equipo en conjunto y su capitán; Joe Warbrick, fueron ingresados al World Rugby Salón de la Fama. (es)
- Il New Zealand native football team nacque da un'idea del giocatore neozelandese di origine Māori, Joe Warbrick e dell'uomo d'affari inglese Thoma Eyton.Il secondo aveva fatto parte della rappresentativa neozelandese che aveva visitato in tour nel 1884 il Nuovo Galles del Sud. Il team girò le isole Britanniche, l'Australia e la Nuova Zelanda nel 1888 e 1889. La maggior parte degli incontri disputati furono di rugby, secondo la codifica della Rugby Football Union (poi diventato "Rugby a 15" dopo lo scisma della Rugby League), ma vennero disputati anche molti incontri di Football Australiano (Victoria Rules) e di Calcio (soccer) La squadra vinse 78 incontri di rugby su 107 e 3 incontri di Football Australiano Il loro tour fu il primo in Europa di una squadra di rugby del continente australe e la squadra di 26 elementi era principalmente formata di giocatori di etnia māori, anche se erano presenti quattro bianchi di origine europea (pākehā). Da qui la scelta del nome "Natives" in luogo di Maori. (it)
