      In 1993 the British Lions rugby union team toured New Zealand. This was the last Lions tour in the sport's amateur era. The Lions were managed by Geoff Cooke, coached by Ian McGeechan and Dick Best, and captained by Gavin Hastings.
      The Lions played a three-test series against New Zealand, and ten matches against provincial teams and the New Zealand Maori. They won six and lost four of those games. The Lions lost the first test match, but won the second to level the series, with New Zealand winning the third test and the series.
      Wade Dooley appeared briefly in the 1993 British Lions Tour of New Zealand but had to leave the tour to return home to England to attend his father's funeral and he was replaced by Martin Johnson.
