The 1992 Great Britain Lions tour of Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand was a rugby league tour by the Great Britain team which took place from May to July 1992. It was the last tour of such length undertaken by Great Britain. The tour included games in Papua New Guinea, Australia - a three-test series for The Ashes and matches against club and representative teams - and New Zealand - a two-test series as well as matches against local sides. Taking place during Australia's 1992 Winfield Cup premiership season, the tour led to friction between the Great Britain team's management and the Australian Rugby League over match scheduling and promotion. The Lions finished the tour with thirteen wins and four losses and a profit of ₤244,645.〔Lion Red Rugby League Annual 1992 ''New Zealand Rugby League'', 1992. p.p.52-73〕 This is the final Ashes series to date that has been played in Australia (as of 2015). ==Touring squad== England's Bobbie Goulding and Wales' Jonathan Davies were originally selected but did not tour due to suspension and injury respectively.
