The New South Wales Country Cockatoos is an amateur representative rugby union football team. Players in the team are selected by the New South Wales Country Rugby Union from regions of New South Wales excluding Sydney and Southern NSW. New South Wales Country plays regular fixtures with other representative sides including City-Country matches with New South Wales Suburban for the Maher-Ross Cup, and the "Battle of the Borders" Cup against the Queensland Country Heelers.[1]

The NSW Country team adopted a logo featuring a Cockatoo in 1996.[2] These native birds are common throughout regional areas of New South Wales. The team colours are orange (amber) and black.
