Lord Hawke selected a cricket team of ten amateurs and two professional players to tour Australia and New Zealand from November 1902 until March 1903. After an opening game in San Francisco, the tour began of eighteen matches - seven of them considered first-class - in New Zealand followed by three further first-class games in Australia. Hawke's team was the first to tour Australasia with New Zealand as the primary destination and, as was the norm at the time, was privately run and funded. The Australian leg of the tour was a "profit making venture", however the games in New Zealand were scheduled at the behest of the New Zealand Cricket Board in order to raise the profile of cricket in the country. Two of them were against a New Zealand cricket team, before its international Test status. The inclusion of such games on the tour were considered "a sign that cricket in New Zealand was starting to be taken more seriously, and a move towards official international status was possible."

The New South Wales cricket team toured New Zealand from January to February 1894 and played seven first-class matches and one minor match. The tour is notable for the fact that the game against New Zealand was New Zealand's first first-class match. The tour was New South Wales' second of New Zealand after a tour in 1890. Like the previous tour it was privately organised by Coleman Davis and not officially sanctioned by the New South Wales Cricket Association. Despite this, given the touring party consisted of leading players from Sydney clubs the team is considered to have been a representative quality side and the matches played on tour to have been official New South Wales first-class games.
