The 1990 Australia rugby union tour of New Zealand was a series of matches played by the Australia national rugby union team in New Zealand between July and August 1990.[1]

Australia lost the test series against New Zealand with only the one victory from three matches. This meant the "All Blacks" held the Bledisloe Cup they had secured in 1987. However, the Australians comfortable win in the 3rd test was notable for ending New Zealand's unbeaten run since the beginning of the 1987 Rugby World Cup. The Australian team would go on to win the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
