Australian International Rules Representative

The Australia international rules (AIR) football team participates in a hybrid sport derived from AFL and Gaelic football.

The International Rules Series has been played annually against the Ireland international rules football team since 1998, having first been played in 1984. Australian under-age teams have been represented in the past, as well as a women's team in 2006. Australia last hosted the International Rules Series in 2011.

Selection in the AIR team is the only opportunity that footballers have to represent their country.

Until 2004 the majority of the men's Australian squad was composed of members of the All-Australian team, as well as other outstanding performers from the season.

In 2005 the decision was made to select players best suited to the conditions of the hybrid game, which resulted in a younger, smaller and quicker team being selected.  However this was reverted to the All-Australian model ahead of the 2014 series.

For the 2013 Series only, the decision was made to select an all-Indigenous team, known as the Indigenous All Stars.
