The New Zealand A cricket team is a cricket team representing New Zealand and is the second tier of international New Zealand cricket below the full New Zealand cricket team. The team played its first game against an England XI in 1996/97. New Zealand A have played fewer games in their history than most other A sides partly because of a three-year gap between 2000/01 and 2003/04 in which they played no matches at all.
