Australia won the Test series 3–1 and retained the Ashes, which were in their possession since 1989. The player of the series was Steve Waugh from Australia. Of the five matches, one was drawn, Australia won three and England won one. Australian captain Mark Taylor won all five coin tosses at the start of each Test.
Darren Gough took a hat-trick. It was the first Ashes hat-trick by an Englishman in almost 100 years and the first hat-trick taken in Sydney in almost 107 years.
