- North vs South rugby union match
-
The North vs South match, sometimes known as the Interisland match was a longstanding rugby union fixture in New Zealand. The first game was played in 1897, and the match became an annual fixture from 1902. Matches ceased during World War I from 1915-1918, but during World War II only the 1940, 1941 and 1942 games were cancelled, with competition resuming in 1943. The last match was played in 1995[1]. Most early games were played in one of the four main cities, but from 1970 onwards the fixture was rotated around a number of provincial centres.
