The 2001 Kangaroo Tour was almost abandoned due to the events of September 11, 2001. The tour was initially cancelled by the ARL but after strong public opinion in both Great Britain and Australia, it went ahead, though the only games played were the three tests, marking the first Kangaroo Tour to not play against any British club teams.

Australia continued its dominance, winning two of the three tests against Great Britain and retaining The Ashes that they have held since 1973

The team was coached by Chris Anderson and captained by Brad Fittler who was making his third and last Kangaroo Tour.
