The Australia national cricket team toured New Zealand from February to April 1914 and played eight first-class matches including two against the New Zealand national team. New Zealand at this time had not been elevated to Test status. The tour was organized and captained by Arthur Sims, who had previously represented New Zealand.
Eric Barbour was invited but was unable to go, and Cody took his place. Macgregor's cricket career, apart from this tour, consisted of several seasons with University in the Melbourne competition.
