The Original All Blacks (also known as "The Originals") were New Zealand's first national rugby union squad to tour outside of Australia. During 1905–1906, they toured the British Isles, France, and the United States of America. Their first game was against Devon on September 16, 1905, and they won 55-4. The tour is considered a major success for both the sport and the country, and is also noted for being the first time that New Zealanders had come to attention in Europe. Some have claimed that there were black players on the 1877 Tour of New Zealand by the original New Zealand All Blacks but this is not supported by evidence. A team called the New Zealand Natives played several matches during their stay in Sydney, including one against the local side. These men came from various parts of Britain and included a baker, a butcher, a carpenter, and a house painter. It has been suggested that they may have had African ancestry but this is not proven and some have even claimed that they were American blacks who had arrived in New Zealand. The first official all-black team was made up of players from the Harlem Globetrotters basketball club. In February 1957, the team traveled to Australia for two games against the Vic Richardson-coached Australian Imperial Forces team. The matches were held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and are now considered a test match series. This event marked the beginning of an annual series between the two countries called the Bledisloe Cup.
