Notes, by series
| Season | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1997 | Inaugural ANZAC Test. |
| 2002 | Genuine 3-year gap in the fixture (2001-2003) — not an omission. |
| 2017 | Final ANZAC Test. A 2015 broadcast-deal restructure had already moved international fixtures out of the traditional early-May window to reduce player workload; the concept was effectively absorbed into the multi-nation Oceania Cup (launched 2019, later the Pacific Championships). |
Discontinued
No ANZAC Test has been played since 2017. A 2015 broadcast-deal restructure moved international fixtures out of the traditional early-May window, and the concept was folded into the wider Oceania Cup (from 2019) / Pacific Championships (from 2023).
