Australian cricket team in England in 1899

The Australian cricket team in England in 1899 played 35 first-class matches including five Tests, the first time that a series in England had consisted of more than three matches. It was also the first time that a panel of selectors was appointed; previously the authority for the ground where the match was to be played was responsible for selecting the side.

The First Test at Trent Bridge saw W G Grace make his final appearance for England, while Wilfred Rhodes made his Test debut in the same match.

Australia won the Test series 1–0 with 4 Tests drawn:

  • 1st Test (Trent Bridge) – match drawn
  • 2nd Test (Lord's) – Australia won by 10 wickets
  • 3rd Test (Headingley) – match drawn
  • 4th Test (Old Trafford) – match drawn
  • 5th Test (The Oval) – match drawn
