The New Zealand national rugby union team, universally known as the All Blacks, represents New Zealand in men's international rugby union and is widely regarded as the most successful and dominant national side in the sport's history, having won multiple Rugby World Cup titles and maintained, across more than a century of test matches, one of the highest all-time win percentages of any team in any major international sport. Playing entirely in black with a silver fern emblem, the team is renowned worldwide for performing the ceremonial Maori haka, most commonly "Ka Mate," before international matches, a tradition dating to the team's earliest overseas tours in the early 20th century.
