NZRU and Rugby Australia confirm Pacific Four Series dates as USA Women’s Eagles set to face Wallaroos and Black Ferns in May

New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia today confirmed their 2025 Women’s XVs fixtures, including two games against the Women’s Eagles as part of the Pacific Four Series.

The Wallaroos will first host the USA on May 17 in Canberra, AUS while the Black Ferns will host the final round in Auckland on May 24. The USA vs Canada opening match is likely to be hosted in the United States, with dates and location still being finalized.

Head Coach Sione Fukofuka said on the upcoming international tour, “Playing in the Pacific Four Series is always a major part of our international calendar, even more so in 2025 as a key part of our Rugby World Cup preparation. PAC4 is a world class tournament that includes three very tough opposition, all ranked top five in the world. This provides us with an opportunity to test ourselves and our growth by building on performances from 2024 and continuing to develop our ability to play Eagles rugby against top international opposition. There were glimpses in 2024 of where we are heading, and PAC4 allows us to push ourselves to perform in every match; and develop our squad depth by building strong competition within the team in the lead into the Rugby World Cup.”

2025 is set to be a massive year for the USA Women’s Eagles, with the Rugby World Cup staged as an exciting finale. The Pacific Four Series brings new energy this year, as all four competing teams have qualified for the pinnacle event and will leverage the high quality tournament as a key step towards England. USA Rugby High Performance is similarly finalizing a full match schedule for the Women’s Eagles in 2025, with the main goal of prioritizing assembly and match play preparation for best success during the Rugby World Cup.
