The rivalry opened at the Old Wanderers in October 1902 and was almost entirely Australian for its first seventy years. South Africa did not beat them until 1910-11 and won only four of the 55 played before 1970. What changed everything was the gap in the middle. Isolation from 1970 to 1991 removed a side that had just beaten Australia 4-0 at home, and when Test cricket between them resumed in 1993 both teams were effectively starting again.

Australia have shaded the modern era, with the 2000s their peak - 13 wins from 18. The scoring records come from that period too: Australia's 652 for 7 declared at Johannesburg in 2002, South Africa's 651 at Cape Town in 2009. The collapses have been every bit as extreme. South Africa were dismissed for 36 at Melbourne in 1932, Australia for 47 at Newlands in November 2011 in a Test where 23 wickets fell on the second day.

Two matches in March 2018 changed the temperature of the whole fixture. South Africa won at Newlands by 322 runs in the Test where Australia were caught working on the ball with sandpaper, then followed it at the Wanderers with a 492-run win, their heaviest over Australia.

The most recent meeting was the largest occasion the two have shared. World Test Championship final, Lord's, June 2025 - South Africa chased 282 to win by five wickets and take their first global title since 1998.
