Ireland know their incredible recent record against the All Blacks counts for next to nothing on Kiwi soil, as both sides prepare for a tantalising three-test series in July.
After being made to wait 111 years for a first victory over New Zealand, Ireland have won three of their last five tests against the All Blacks, dating back to the famous triumph in Chicago in 2016.
The most recent of those, a 29-20 win in Dublin came seven months ago, as coach Andy Farrell's side outclassed Ian Foster's All Blacks at Aviva Stadium.
But while Ireland's recent record makes for good reading, there is one glaring omission - yet to enjoy victory in New Zealand.
And tasked with becoming the first Irish head coach to beat the All Blacks on home soil, Farrell concedes his side can't rest on the laurels earned last November.
"I wouldn't say [it brings] confidence," Farrell said. "Every time you put the Irish shirt on, there's an element of nerves.
"I hope we can perform, and be as good as we were then. But in reality, the boys know that's not going to be good enough this time around.
"We know what we're coming up against. We know it's a different kettle of fish, Eden Park first up.
"We know how special that place is to the All Blacks. It's great for us though.
"We want to see ourselves under extreme pressure and how we deal with that. So therefore, it's good all round."
Not helping Ireland is the lack of experience within the squad of actually playing in New Zealand.
Of the extended 40-man touring squad, there are just five survivors within Ireland's ranks from their previous visit in 2012.
Prop Cian Healy, flanker Peter O'Mahony, halfback Conor Murray, first-five and captain Johnny Sexton and midfielder Keith Earls are all back for another shot at the All Blacks, a decade on from their last tour here.
On that occasion, the All Blacks took the first test at Eden Park 42-10, thanks to a debut hat-trick from Julian Savea, before Ireland nearly caused an upset a week later.
Level at 19-all in the last minute, Dan Carter landed a drop goal to deny Ireland a draw in Christchurch, before the All Blacks ran away with the third test 60-0 in Hamilton.
And while Farrell admits the impacts of that series defeat still linger for a few of his squad, the British and Irish Lions' draw in 2017 gives the Ireland squad the belief the All Blacks can be beaten at home.
"There's a few people that were involved there, so there are a few scars from that tour as well," he added.
"We're lucky enough [to have] a few guys that came here with the Lions in 2017. That tells a story of the challenge ahead as well.
"The moral of the story back home after the Lions series draw was one of success - and that was the best of the best touring these shores.
"You can see what type of task it is for little old Ireland.
"But challenges are there to make us better, make us stronger, and we've got to be ready to meet those head on."
