List of New Zealand Kiwis representatives

There have been over 750 rugby league footballers who have played for the New Zealand Kiwis since the national side started competing internationally in 1907. Players are listed according to the date of their first international test match.

The below list is the official roll of honour and only lists players who have played a test match for the Kiwis or have gone away on a tour with the squad. The list does not include players who only played non-tests in New Zealand or who were unused substitutions in test matches.

Several of the original New Zealand team had already represented New Zealand in rugby union. This trend has continued with many players representing New Zealand in two sports or representing two different countries in rugby league due to the eligibility rules in place at the time. For example, Dally Messenger represented Australia in both rugby union and rugby league as well as playing with the 1907 touring side.

Of the 36 players that have played for both the Kiwis and the All Blacks, only Karl Ifwersen and Sonny Bill Williams have been a Kiwi before they became an All Black.

As well as the dual internationals below, Charles Savory won the New Zealand National Amateur Heavyweight Boxing championship in 1914, Sonny Bill Williams won the New Zealand Professional Boxing Association Heavyweight Championship in 2012 and Kiwis captain Steve Watene became a Member of Parliament after his retirement from rugby league.

Four Kiwis have gone on to be test referees; Albert House, Maurice Wetherill, Vic Belsham and Henry Perenara.
