The NZRU has several teams under its control.
Men
• All Blacks - the national men's rugby union team of New Zealand
• Junior All Blacks - the second national team behind the All Blacks and not an age graded side.
• Sevens - the national rugby sevens team of New Zealand. Established in 1983, when the first full international side was sent to the famous Hong Kong Sevens tournament.
• New Zealand Māori - the national men's Māori team of New Zealand. Members of this team must have at least 1/16 Māori ancestry (one great-great-grandparent).
• Under 19s - an age graded side that has developed some of today's current All Blacks, sometimes referred to as the "Baby Blacks."
• Under 20s - an age graded side created after the IRB folded its former under-19 and under-21 World Championships into an under-20 competition known as the IRB Junior World Championship. Currently the country's top age-grade side, and also sometimes referred to as the "Baby Blacks."
• Under 21s - an age graded side that has developed some of today's current All Blacks, also sometimes referred to as the "Baby Blacks."
• Heartland XV - established in 1988 to expose players from Divisions Two and Three in the Air New Zealand NPC to rugby at a higher level. After the 2006 reorganisation of the NPC into the fully professional Air New Zealand Cup, now ITM Cup, and the nominally amateur Heartland Championship, the team now consists solely of players from the Heartland Championship.
• NZ Schools - a development team of school players who move up to the Under 20s and ultimately the All Blacks.
Women
• Black Ferns - the national women's rugby union team of New Zealand.
