The 1992 South Africa rugby union tour of France and England included the first test matches played by the Springboks outside of South Africa since 1981. South African rugby's isolation had just ended with the All Blacks tour and overlapping Wallabies tour to South Africa two months earlier.
The tour of France and England was a series of thirteen rugby matches played during October and November 1992. South Africa played eight matches, including two tests, in France. This was followed by four matches, including one test, in England.
The tour to England was put in jeopardy after South Africa's National and Olympic Sports Congress (NOSC) spoke out against it, citing the failure of the recently unified SARFU to fulfil its promises to the deprived majority while concentrating instead on high-profile - and by inference white - tours. However, the ANC realised they could not turn the boycott on and off like a tap, and reluctantly gave approval for the tour to proceed.
South Africa's two-match test series against France was drawn one-all. England defeated South Africa in their test match played in London.
