The Australia international rules football team is Australia's senior representative team in International Rules football, a hybrid of Australian rules football and Gaelic football. The team is made up of Australian Football League players.

At present the only team it plays is the Ireland international rules football team, on an annual basis.

Until 2004 the men's Australian squad was comprised mainly of members of the All Australian Team; from 2005 players were chosen according to the quite different conditions of the hybrid game.
