Record
New Zealand is the lowest-ranked team at the 2026 World Cup (85th). Yet they are technically unbeaten in World Cup finals history — their three matches in 2010 all ended in draws.
History
The All Whites have only appeared in two World Cups: 1982 and 2010. In 2010, they famously held defending champions Italy to a 1-1 draw — a result that contributed to Italy's group-stage exit.
Culture
In a nation where rugby is king, football has grown steadily. New Zealand's women's team (Football Ferns) co-hosted the 2023 Women's World Cup, boosting the sport's profile across the country.
