Netherlands national football team results
  Win    Draw    Loss
The unofficial Dutch national team in their first match against Felixstowe in 1894.
Mulier as captain of the unofficial Dutch national team in a match against Maidstone in 1895.

This is a list of the Netherlands national football team's results from 1894 to the present day that, for various reasons, are not accorded the status of official internationals and are not being recognized by FIFA.[1] Player appearances and goals in these matches are also not counted to their totals.

The national team played twelve matches until the first official international match of the Netherlands took place in 1905. Their first match was against the English side Felixstowe FC.[2] Their first unofficial victory came against the English side Maidstone FC, which was defeated 4–3, thanks to two goals from Pim Mulier.[3] The biggest victory came on 18 November 1895 when Saxmundham FC, the losing finalists in the Suffolk Senior Cup the season before, was sent home after a 9–2 loss, thanks in part to a 5-goal haul from Rein Boomsma.[4]

Coupe Vanden Abeele[edit]

In the early 1900s, the Netherlands played four unofficial matches against Belgium as they contested for the Coupe Vanden Abeele.[7] The Dutch were represented by sides selected and organized by Cees van Hasselt, but since the games were not being sanctioned by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), only players from the second division were available to Van Hasselt, so Belgium naturally won those games.[7][8][9]
