Matches played

"Notes on scoring:"
* "For the rugby matches in the British Isles, New Zealand, and Victoria tries scored one point, conversions two points, and penalties and drop-goals three points."
* "For the rugby matches in New South Wales tries scored three points, conversions two points, and drop goals four points."
* "For the rugby matches in Queensland tries scored two points, conversions three points, and drop goals four points."

"Notes on matches:"
* "The match record for the British Isles is considered complete, however the match record of the Victorian Rules and Association Rules matches in the Australian leg of the tour is a matter of some debate. The list of Victorian Rules matches compiled by Greg Ryan traces the matches in the Melbourne press, and the frequency of matches suggests the list is complete."

"Notes on opposition:"
* "As the tour occurred before the schism of Rugby football following the formation of the Northern Union (the predecessor of the Rugby league) in 1895, many of the team's opponents in the British Isles later elected to play Rugby League rather than Rugby union. The links in the tables below link to those clubs regardless of what code they subsequently played."
* "At least one club, Manningham, has since converted to Association Football."
