The 2002 International Rules Series was the ninth annual International Rules Series and the fifth time a test series of international rules football has been played between Ireland and Australia since the series resumed in 1998.

The series was won by Australia, who recorded their second win in the series following a seven-point win in the first test and a draw in the second test, finishing with a superior aggregate margin of 107–100 points. This marked just the second time in the history of the series that a match had finished in a draw, whilst the attendance at Dublin's Croke Park for the second test was the highest in the history of the series at that stage.
