In 1993 the British Lions rugby union team toured New Zealand. This tour followed the Lions' 1989 tour to Australia and preceded their 1997 tour to South Africa. It was the last Lions tour in the sport's amateur era.
The Lions lost the first test match, but won the second to level the series, with New Zealand winning the deciding third test (with the Lions traveling support controversially dispersed around Eden Park at the request of NZRFU). The tour was managed by Geoff Cooke, coached by Ian McGeechan and Dick Best and captained by Gavin Hastings.
