The name of this dance is Haka and is a traditional mahori war dance. There are thousands of different Haka but the one that is performed before sport events is known as 'Ka Mate'.
It was first adopted by the New Zealand National Rugby team in the year 1905 and performed by them prior national and international games since then.
