This is a list of the Netherlands national football team's results from 1894 to the present day that, for various reasons, are not accorded the status of official internationals and are not being recognized by FIFA.[1] Player appearances and goals in these matches are also not counted to their totals.

The national team played twelve matches until the first official international match of the Netherlands took place in 1905. Their first match was against the English side Felixstowe FC.[2] Their first unofficial victory came against the English side Maidstone FC, which was defeated 4–3, thanks to two goals from Pim Mulier.[3] The biggest victory came on 18 November 1895 when Saxmundham FC, the losing finalists in the Suffolk Senior Cup the season before, was sent home after a 9–2 loss, thanks in part to a 5-goal haul from Rein Boomsma.[4]

1890s

Coupe Vanden Abeele

In the early 1900s, the Netherlands played four unofficial matches against Belgium as they contested for the Coupe Vanden Abeele.[7] The Dutch were represented by sides selected and organized by Cees van Hasselt, but since the games were not being sanctioned by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), only players from the second division were available to Van Hasselt, so Belgium naturally won those games.[7][8][9]

1910s

1920s

Apart from the official biannual Low Countries derbies, Belgium played against the Netherlands for diverse purposes in the 1920s; the 1925 and 1926 matches served as fundraiser for FIFA and charity, respectively, and in the 1929 match the Royal Dutch Football Association's 40th anniversary was celebrated.[10]

1930s

Outside the official biannual Low Countries derbies, Belgium faced the Netherlands for diverse reasons in the 1930s; the 1930 match served to inaugurate the new national stadium, the two matches in 1932 served as a fundraiser for FIFA and charity, and the 1939 match was at the occasion of the Royal Dutch Football Association's 50th anniversary.[10]
