Halt All Racist Tours (HART) was established in 1969 to protest against New Zealand' participation in rugby union tours to and from South Africa while that nation operated under an apartheid regime. Intially set up to protest the 1970 tour of South Africa by the All Blacks, HART grew to become a leading national anti-apartheid organisation. The early focus of activity was the sports boycott of South Africa. In later years HART advocated ceasation of all contact with apartheid South Africa.

In 1980 HART merged with the National Anti-Apartheid Committee, becoming HART: the New Zealand Anti-Apartheid Movement. At a later stage, a name in use for the organisation was HART Aotearoa.
