Since 1882, only one series has been played between the two sides that was not deemed an Ashes series, that being the 3 Test Cricket series in the Australian summer of [[English cricket team in Australia in 1979–80|1979–80]], won by Australia 3–0. This was the first Australian home Test series with a unified team after two summers of [[World Series Cricket]] and was not deemed an ashes series as England had retained the Ashes 5–1 on Australian soil 12 months earlier. On three other occasions, a one-off commemorative Test Match was played in which the Ashes were not at stake, which were the [[English cricket team in Australia in 1976–77|1977 Melbourne Centenary Test]], the [[Centenary Test|1980 Lords Centenary Test]] and the [[Bicentennial Test|1988 Bicentennial Test]] played at the SCG in January 1988.<ref name="seriesresults"/>

===Series records===
Australia has won more Ashes Tests than England, winning 140 of the 340 matches, compared to England's 108 victories. Australia also holds the edge in Ashes series won, having won on 34 occasions compared to England's 32. There have been seven drawn series, and on six of these occasions, Australia has retained the Ashes due to being holders going into the series. England has retained the Ashes after a drawn series once. 

On three occasions has a team won all the Tests in an Ashes series; only Australia has achieved the feat 5–0 in [[English cricket team in Australia in 1920–21|1920–21]], [[2006–07 Ashes series|2006–07]] and [[2013-14 Ashes series|2013–14]].<ref name="seriesresults"/> England's largest winning margin in an Ashes series was in [[English cricket team in Australia in 1978–79|1978–79]], when it won 5–1. England's largest unbeaten winning margin of 3–0 in an Ashes series was achieved in [[Australian cricket team in England in 1886|1886]], [[Australian cricket team in England in 1977|1977]] and [[2013 Ashes series|2013]]. 

Both England and Australia have held the Ashes for a record eight consecutive series, England doing so between [[English cricket team in Australia in 1882–83|1882–83]] and [[Australian cricket team in England in 1890|1890]], while Australia achieved the feat from [[Australian cricket team in England in 1989|1989]] to [[English cricket team in Australia in 2002–03|2002–03]].<ref name="seriesresults"/>
