National teams
Australia men's national soccer team Australia began 1933 with the first of their three-match series hosting New Zealand at Brisbane Cricket Ground on 5 June with all eleven starting players making their national team debuts and George Smith as captain on debut. They won the match 4–2 with George Smith and Hec Gorring both scoring two goals. With twelve days rest until the second match at Sydney Cricket Ground on 17 June, it saw four further debutants Ian Davidson, Jack Hughes, Frank Smith, and Tom Tennant; and was won by Australia 6–4 thanks to a George Smith hat-trick (the first ever Australia men's national team hat-trick), and further goals by Roy Crowhurst, Alec Cameron and Jack Hughes. The third and final match of the series was again played at Sydney Cricket Ground on a week later on 24 June, where Bill Edwards, Frank Laidlaw, Jimmy Osborne, and Jack Taylor made their Australia debut as Australia won 4–2 through a brace by George Smith, with Bill Edwards scoring on debut alongside Roy Crowhurst in his third match. Australia finished the series with three wins out of three matches.
