South African cricket team in Australia in 2001–02
The South Africa national cricket team toured Australia in the 2001–02 cricket season. South Africa played three Test matches against Australia, and also contested the 2001–02 VB Series, a triangular One Day International tournament that also involved New Zealand.
Australia won all three Tests convincingly. However, South Africa atoned for this by winning the VB Series, beating New Zealand in the final.
