Australia have recorded twenty-two wins, New Zealand ten, with five games drawn. Australia have scored sixty-three goals, and New Zealand thirty-four. Australia have won the last sixteen encounters between the two countries, with New Zealand scoring just four times in this sequence, three of those goals coming in the last two games.
NB While the first clash between the countries in 1975 is regarded as a full international by New Zealand, the Australians do not consider it as such, as their representatives at the Asian Cup were a New South Wales side.
