• An Australian team played and won their first ever Test in June 1899 against a touring Great Britain side at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
• Australia, which is divided into six states and two territories, has more than 850 clubs and more than 30,000 seniors playing the game
• The first Rugby Union World Cup tournament was played between 16 teams in May and June 1987 in New Zealand and Australia
