The Australian cricket team toured to England in 1886 played 27 first-class matches including 3 Tests which were all won by England.

The poor results for Aussies loss of all three Tests with the last two being lost by an innings, were due to the decline of the key players, such as Fred Spofforth and Eugene Palmer who had made the 1882 team so strong, along with the absence of their former captain Billy Murdoch who was later to settle in England and assist Sussex.
