The squad answered the chanted request from thousands of people gathered to see them meet Prime Minister John Key and other politicians.
It came at the end of a victory parade in central Wellington this lunchtime that began with the city's mayor Celia Wade- Brown telling the "mighty'' All Blacks they had lifted the gloom after a year blighted by the Pike River disaster and Christchurch earthquakes.
She thanked staff and volunteers who helped make the tournament a huge success before skipper Richie McCaw addressed the crowd.
He said his side couldn't have won the Webb Ellis trophy without the support they had from throughout the country.
At about 12.25pm the squad split into groups to climb onto floats for their journey along Willis Street and Lambton Quay to Parliament.
Blustery, drizzly weather didn't deter the thousands lined up on Lambton Quay to see the team.
Sandra Bednarek, dressed in an All Blacks flag and a "Keep Calm, Piri's on'' t-shirt, said she and her kids wouldn't be put off by the rain.
"We're hoping ... that it just stays like this,'' she said.
People found vantage points on roofs and were watching from office buildings and multistorey car parks.
Two teenagers were perched in a tree halfway along the capital's main shopping street.
Cheers erupted sporadically and fans took part in a Mexican wave.
Nadene Mackey had a rugby bal signed by Israel Dagg and said she was "stoked'' and that it would become a family heirloom.
Victoria University commerce students Angelka Vegar and Kate Dogan had been staking out a spot since 10am carrying signs for their heart-throbs, one of which read: "Kieran Read this sign.''
Ms Vegar said she loved all the players but they had made the signs for their favourites.
"They're just great players. Israel Dagg is single ... we want them to come over and talk to us.''
Among the thousands waiting at Parliament were three Hutt Valley High students, who said heaps of their classmates had also trekked onto Wellington to celebrate the world cup success.
Rosie Stirling, 16, said she and her friends had arrived at 9am to claim a spot with a good view.
Positioned at the front of the pack, Rosie said she was a lifelong fan and had been at the final to see the historic win.
Mr Key received a huge round of applause when he arrived on the steps of Parliament. He spent several minutes walking along the barrier shaking hands, posing for photos and giving out hugs to people waiting for the All Blacks.
As each player was called to shake hands with politicians the crowd screamed and cheered _ reserving the loudest noise for the Hurricanes players.
McCaw was the final player to be called up, and received prolonged applause from the crowd, with many of the teenage fans screaming out "I love you''.
As he held aloft the Webb Ellis trophy the crowd continued to chant his name.
Speaker Lockwood Smith opened the formalities, welcoming the team and thanking them for bringing the cup back to New Zealand.
Phil Goff congratulated the team and gave special mentions to Helen Clark, Tana Umaga, Colin Meads and Jock Hobbs for their work in winning hosting right.
Mr Key said the team had played with the country behind them and urged them to "bring it back in 2015''.
MaCaw said it had been a hell of a few days and thanked the crowd for its support.
