This is a list of matches played by sides labelled New Zealand B,* New Zealand XI or similar. It also includes matches played by development sides consisting of young players being considered for national selection.
Note that matches against club sides and provincial selections are listed under New Zealand A if the intention of the New Zealand selectors was (or appeared to be) to field a full strength team. The inclusion of matches against club sides etc. under New Zealand A reflects the fact that historically matches against touring European clubs were seen to be the most prestigious (along with matches against Australia).
It can be argued that some matches listed under New Zealand A in fact belong to the list below. However, it is not the intention here to determine whether a particular match belongs in the "A" or "B" category. Rather, the selection criteria follows other publications. If a match has been included on the official list as compiled by Barry Smith (matches played between 1904 and 1990 and published in An Association with Soccer) then it is included on the list of "A" matches. For matches played after 1990, matches part of Jeremy Ruane's list are also placed under "A" matches. All other matches involving New Zealand squads (that do not easily fit elsewhere) are listed below.
* New Zealand’s B team is often labelled New Zealand ‘A’ for marketing purposes.
