New Zealand Under 20s
New Zealand Under 20 is New Zealand's newest national team, was selected for the first time in 2008. It provides development opportunities and acts as a testing ground for New Zealand's young, talented players.
The New Zealand Under 20 team was established in 2007 following the International Rugby Board's restructuring of international age-grade rugby and replaces the New Zealand Under 21 and Under 19 sides.
New Zealand Under 21 (formerly known as the Colts) was first selected in 1955 and played annually until 2007.
New Zealand Under 19 was selected for the first time in 1990. The new New Zealand Under 20 side is scheduled to participate in the IRB Junior World Championship tournament.
New Zealand's age-grade sides enjoyed great success on the world stage. New Zealand Under 21 won world titles in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004 while the New Zealand Under 19 team won the last ever IRB Under 19 World Championship title in early 2007, in addition to titles in 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2004.
