Australia played their first international match against New Zealand on 17 June 1922 at Carisbrook Park, captained by Alex Gibb in a squad composed entirely of New South Wales and Queensland players. They were defeated 3–1 with William Maunder scoring Australia's first international goal in front of approximately 10,000 spectators. Ahead of their next match just a week later, Dave Ward was replaced by Wilfred Bratton in the Australia team the day before their next match against New Zealand on 24 July 1922, which was drawn 1–1 with Bratton scoring on debut and only match. Ward returned to squad for Australia's last match of the year on 8 July 1922 against New Zealand in which they lost 3–1 with George Brown scoring for Australia, finishing the three match series with two losses and one draw.
