Here is how media have reacted to the historic result:
'Upset of a generation'
To start at home, the NZ's Herald's Liam Napier called it the "upset of a generation", describing Wales' performance as "inspired, scarcely believable, courageous".
"As 55,142 emotional fans – many in tears at the finish – witnessed the first Welsh win against the All Blacks for 73 years, Principality Stadium erupted with passion and pride in a reaction that evoked spine-tingling goosebumps," he wrote.
Napier added the result was "another timely reminder of sports' unpredictability".
Meanwhile, the BBC's Gareth Griffiths said Wales had "lifted a nation" with its brilliant performance, describing "astonishing scenes in Cardiff" after the victory.
"The remarkable Wales defence followed as they held up the All Blacks three times over the line to stop New Zealand scoring, to evoke wild celebrations," Griffiths said.
"Good things come to those who wait."
'From humiliation to hero-worship'
The Telegraph's James Corrigan said the result could be the biggest win in the 145-year history of Welsh rugby.
"From humiliation to hero-worship, from derision to deification, from ridicule to veneration. Unbelievable," he wrote.
He wrote that the "doors of immortality swung open" for a Welsh side that had been written off by all but themselves.
Corrigan also reflected on the generations of Welsh rugby legends who had failed to beat the All Blacks, including Gareth Edwards, Barry John and Sam Warburton.
'Wales are back'
Sky Sports' Michael Cantillon called the result "one of rugby's biggest shocks of recent times", praising Wales' "immense defence".
He noted the closing stages were played almost entirely inside the Welsh 22, with the hosts repelling wave after wave of All Blacks attacks and holding New Zealand up three times in-goal.
The Guardian's Michael Aylwin also praised Wales' defensive display, describing the victory as "seismic".
"Just when you expect it the least. By what wild logic did Wales choose now to pull off a victory 73 years in the seeking?"
Aylwin questioned how Wales had managed to pull off the unthinkable after winning just five of the previous 31 Tests.
"They hammered and hammered away but could not force their tireless hosts into submission."
And after more than seven decades of waiting, Aylwin's verdict was simple: "Wales are back."
