World Cup History

New Zealand has qualified for two World Cups (1982, 2010), remaining winless with 3 draws and 6 losses. The All Whites held defending champion Italy 1-1 in 2010, their greatest World Cup moment.

New Zealand dominates Oceania football but struggles against stronger confederations. They produced Winston Reid and Chris Wood, their most successful players internationally.

Football competes with rugby for attention in New Zealand, but the sport is growing. Their 2026 qualification marks a return after missing 2014, 2018, and 2022.
Best Finish: Group Stage (twice)

What to Expect in 2026

New Zealand returns to the World Cup as massive underdogs but with proven Premier League striker Chris Wood leading the attack. The All Whites aim to earn their first-ever World Cup victory.

While progression is unlikely, New Zealand's physical style and team spirit could produce another memorable draw against a favorite. They play to make their nation proud.
