The two-time World Cup winning All Blacks captain joined his former All Blacks coach Graham Henry in the Hall of Fame at an induction ceremony in Japan.
"It's a huge honour to be inducted," said McCaw, 38, who played 148 tests between 2001 and 2015.
"I'm number 143 and the other 142 names on there are legends of the game so to have your name alongside them is very special," McCaw said.
