England return to the Home of England Rugby for the first time since their World Cup win in September 2025. A memorable performance by the Red Roses saw them overcome Canada 33-13 to claim the Women’s Rugby World Cup for the first time since 2014.
Now attention turns to the WXV Global Series which features 18 of the world’s best national teams. The top 12 teams are Australia, Canada, England, France, Italy, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and USA. They will compete home-and-away within an eight-week global window from the second week of September to the last week of October. As well as taking on New Zealand at Allianz Stadium, the Red Roses will host Australia at the CorpAcq Stadium in Salford on Saturday 12 September. They’ll then face Canada at Sandy Park in Exeter on Saturday 19 September.
The last time England’s women faced New Zealand at Twickenham was in September 2024. The Red Roses put then world champions New Zealand to the sword. The Black Ferns had no answer to the power and precision of the England side for whom Abbie Dow put in a vintage performance. Final score: England 24-12 New Zealand.
