The New South Wales cricket team toured New Zealand from January to February 1894 and played seven first-class matches and one minor match. The tour is notable for the fact that the game against New Zealand was New Zealand's first first-class match. The tour was New South Wales' second of New Zealand after a tour in 1890 . Like the previous tour it was privately organised by Coleman Davis and not officially sanctioned by the New South Wales Cricket Association . Despite this, given the touring party consisted of leading players from Sydney clubs the team is considered to have been a representative quality side and the matches played on tour to have been official New South Wales first-class games.
