The New Zealand cricket team toured England in the 1931 season. The tour was the first tour by a New Zealand team in which Test matches were arranged.[1] Originally, only one Test was planned, but New Zealand acquitted themselves so well in the first match and in the game against MCC that matches against Surrey and Lancashire were hastily replaced by two further Test matches.[2] Of the three Tests played, the first was drawn, the second was won comfortably by England; the third was heavily affected by rain and also drawn.[3][4] The tour as a whole was blighted by poor weather, and 23 of the 32 first-class matches ended as draws.
