South African cricket team in New Zealand in 1931–32

The inaugural Test series between the New Zealand and South Africa national cricket teams took place in New Zealand in February and March 1932. South Africa won both matches of the two-match series. New Zealand were captained by Curly Page and South Africa by Jock Cameron.

The South African team arrived in New Zealand from Australia where they had played a five-match Test series, losing all five matches. The visit to New Zealand had not originally been part of the tour itinerary. The team played three matches in New Zealand, a first-class match against Auckland at Eden Park and two Test matches, before travelling back to Australia to play a final first-class match in Perth before returning home.

Tour party
A total of 14 players made up the South African tour party, with the majority of the Australian tour party travelling to New Zealand. Reserve wicket-keeper Edward van der Merwe and the uncapped Stephen Steyn returned to South Africa in February and did not take part in the New Zealand leg of the tour. Neither man had played in any of the Test matches in Australia.

Wicket-keeper Jock Cameron captained the South African team, with all-rounder Denys Morkel as his deputy. Jack Siedle had originally been selected as vice-captain for both kegs of the tour but withdrew as his wife was expecting a child. Xen Balaskas, who had not played in any of the five Tests in Australia, played in both Tests against New Zealand.
