Notes

[edit]
  1. Worn in the first test v. Great Britain on 4 June 1899. From then on, Australia tended to use the colours of the state they were playing in, in this case, the light blue of New South Wales.
  2. Worn in the second test v. Great Britain at Brisbane. From then on, Australia tended to use the colours of the state they were playing in, in this case, the maroon of Queensland.
  3. Worn during the 1908–09 tour of Great Britain. It was revived in the tour of South Africa and Rhodesia in 1933, and also for tours of New Zealand in 1936 and 1946.
  4. Worn during a series v. the All Blacks in 1929, 1931 and 1932.
