The Australia national rugby league team, known as the Kangaroos, represents Australia in men's international rugby league and is the most successful national side in the sport's history, having won a large majority of Rugby League World Cup titles contested since the tournament's founding in 1954 and maintaining a long-standing position as the sport's dominant international power. Playing in green-and-gold, the team draws its playing pool primarily from the National Rugby League competition and has historically maintained a fierce rivalry with New Zealand, alongside the annual State of Origin series between its own constituent Queensland and New South Wales representative sides.
