Between July 1947 and March 1948 the Australia national rugby union team – the Wallabies – conducted a world tour encompassing Ceylon, Britain, Ireland, France and the United States on which they played five Tests and thirty-six minor tour matches. It was the first such tour in twenty years, since that of the 1927–28 Waratahs, as the 1939–40 Australia rugby union tour of Britain and Ireland tour had been thwarted by World War II. They were known as the Third Wallabies.

  • Die Tour der australischen Rugby-Union-Nationalmannschaft nach Europa und Nordamerika 1947/48 umfasste eine Reihe von Freundschaftsspielen der Wallabies, der Nationalmannschaft Australiens in der Sportart Rugby Union. Das Team reiste September 1947 bis März 1948 durch Frankreich, Großbritannien, Irland, Kanada und die Vereinigten Staaten. Während dieser Zeit bestritt es 39 Spiele, darunter fünf Test Matches gegen europäische Nationalmannschaften. Es handelte sich um die erste Tour dieser Art nach mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten, da die Tour von 1939/40 wegen des Ausbruchs des Zweiten Weltkriegs abgesagt werden musste. Ebenso erfolgte die Anreise und Rückkehr letztmals per Schiff. Die Tour verlief recht erfolgreich: Die Wallabies gewannen 32 Spiele, darunter drei Test Matches. (de)

  • Il Tour della Nazionale di rugby a 15 dell'Australia 1947-1948 fu una serie di match di rugby a 15, disputati tra il luglio 1947 il marzo 1948 dalla nazionale australiana. Un tour molto lungo che toccò Ceylon, le Isole Britanniche, la Francia e il Nord America. Il risultato fu eccellente per gli australiani, che riuscirono a non subire mete nei cinque match contro le nazionali britanniche, perdendo solo contro il Galles Fu l'ultimo tour rugbistico di così lunga durata: il passaggio dalla nave all'aereo come mezzo di trasporto avrebbe in seguito resi più rapidi questi viaggi.
