Wales had the better of the results in the early years, up until 1978 when the Aussies grew the game in the country and started producing world class sides. Between 1991 and 2003, Australia won nine consecutive games against the Welsh before the streak was broken in 2005.

That was followed by an even longer winning streak (12 games) for the Wallabies between 2009 and 2017. Since 2018 Wales have however won four of their five games against Australia.

Australia vs Wales Head-to-Head Record


This is another very interesting Rugby Union fixture which Australia has had the better of, thanks mainly to the two long winning streaks mentioned above.

Wales have only managed one victory in Australia which will be a concern for them while Australia have been victorious in 18 of their 29 games in Wales. Wales have a slightly better record at neutral venues.
