The Australian Socceroos and New Zealand All Whites are traditional soccer rivals. The rivalry is part of a wider friendly rivalry between geographical neighbours Australia and New Zealand in a range of sports including cricket, rugby league, rugby union and netball. Due to the country's similar histories, language, and cultural and sporting interests, this wider rivalry is frequently referred to in the press as analogous to a sibling rivalry.^[1]^[2] The rivalry was more intense when Australia and New Zealand were both members of the OFC and regularly contested finals of the OFC Nations Cup and top two positions in OFC World Cup Qualification campaigns. It has been less frequent since Australia left the OFC to join the AFC.
