The Boxing Day Test match is a cricket Test match hosted in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia involving Australian cricket team and the opposition national team touring Australia that summer. It begins annually on Boxing Day (December 26), and is played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

In 1950 the first ever Australian Boxing Day Test was hosted at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. No Boxing Day Tests were played in Melbourne between 1953 and 1967, and periodically the Australian Cricket Team played on Boxing Day in other nations. However in 1980 the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Australian cricket team secured the rights to play the match annually
