In New Zealand, the word football most commonly means rugby union due to the huge success of the All Blacks national side, this sport is more well known as just rugby.[29][30] The word football is also used to a lesser extent to refer to rugby league or association football. The slang term footie generally only means either of the two codes of rugby football, while rugby league is traditionally known as rugby league or just league. Association football is usually known as soccer by the general population, however useage of the term is going through a period of transition in recent times as the federation changed its name to New Zealand Football from New Zealand Soccer and the nickname of its woman's team to Football Ferns from SWANZ.[31][32] Other codes are not traditionally popular but Australian rules football is known as Aussie rules, while American football is known as gridiron.[33]
