The following list is a complete collection of results for the England national rugby league team. England's matches against Australia and New Zealand show a limited number of matches played due to the fact that the Great Britain national rugby league team participated and represented England in tournaments such as World Cups and also tours in the 1900s, and early 2000s before their last fixture against New Zealand in 2007.
