South Africa vs Australia Test Series History

 

South Africa and Australia have a long history in Test cricket

but I want to write about the all Test series they have played as if I am sharing a story with a friend

 

First I will walk you through early eras of series in Australia such as the 1910 11 tour where Australia beat Africa quite convincingly to win 4-1 over five matches 

Then fast forward to 1931 32 again a tough series for Africa as Australia won 5-0 out of five Tests 

There was a more balanced outcome in the mid 1950s for example in 1952 53 in Australia that series ended drawn 2-2 over five Tests 

 

Moving on to series in South Africa

In 1957 58 Australia won 3-0 in a five-Test series 

In 1963 64 when South Africa toured Australia it was a 1-1 draw over five Tests 

Then when Australia toured Africa in 1966 67 Africa won that series 3-1 out of five Tests 

And again in 1969 70 Africa swept Australia 4-0 away from home in a four-Test rubber 

 

The 1993 94 series when Africa toured Australia finished as a draw with one win each and a draw in the third Test over three matches 

Shortly after Australia toured Africa the same season and that too resulted in a 1-1 series draw with one draw 

 

In the mid 1990s

1996 97 Australia beat South Africa 2-1 in a three Test series in South Africa 

1997 98 

In the early 2000s South Africa toured Australia where the series was won by Australia (1-0) with two draws each

2001 02 in Australia Australia dominated 3-0 over three Tests 

When Australia toured South Africa that season they won 2-1 

 

Mid 2000s

2005 06 in Australia that series ended as an Australia win 2-0 with a draw 

2005 06 when Australia toured South Africa again Australia clean-swept 3-0 

 

An emotional high for Africa came in 2008 09 when Africa toured Australia and won their first Test series there in over 70 years 2-1 

But when Australia toured Africa next they reversed it to win 2-1 

 

In 2012 13 Africa tour of Australia was narrow but africa edged that series 1-0 over three Tests 

2013 14 Australia toured Africa and won 2-1 

More recently

2016 17 when Africa toured Australia Africa won 2-1 

2017 18 at the time when Australia toured Africa South Africa hammered Australia 3-1 in a four -Test series

2022-23 Africa was on a tour to Australia and the series won by Australia 2-0

 

Also as a global highlight in June 2025 they met in the World Test Championship final at Lords in London where South Africa won by five wickets to lift their first ever WTC trophy
