<span class="mw-page-title-main">Australia–New Zealand soccer rivalry</span>

The Australia–New Zealand soccer rivalry is a soccer rivalry between the Australian men's and women's vs. New Zealand men's and women's national teams. It is part of a wider friendly trans-Tasman rivalry between geographical neighbours Australia and New Zealand in a range of sports including cricket, rugby league, rugby union and netball. Due to the countries' similar histories, language, and cultural and sporting interests, this wider rivalry is frequently referred to in the press as analogous to a sibling rivalry. The rivalry was more intense when Australia and New Zealand were both members of the Oceania Football Confederation and regularly contested finals of the OFC Nations Cup and for top position in OFC World Cup Qualification campaigns. The rivalry has been less frequent since Australia left the OFC to join the Asian Football Confederation in 2006. In 2022, Football Australia and New Zealand Football planned a home and away series, to mark the 100th anniversary of the first meeting between the two nations, which was first played in Dunedin back in 1922.
