It means good luck. When you wish someone a victory or a great performance, you tell them to a break a leg. Its like good luck but to the next level. Its the more enthusiastic and more sincere way of wishing someone good luck and really meaning it.

Did you try googling? there must be a ton of sentences on this idiom. Anywho, here is one:

"I hope you break a leg in tonight's cricket game against Australia", something like that.
