The Black Ferns’ schedule will start against the Women Eagles at Heart Health Park with kick-off on Saturday, April 11, 4.00pm PT (Sunday, April 12, 11.00am NZT).
The last time the Black Ferns and the Eagles met was at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland last year, where the team’s 79-14 victory helped them claim the Pacific Four Series 2025 title.
Kansas City will then host the Black Ferns v Canada match on Friday, April 17, 5.15pm CT (Saturday, April 18, 10.15am NZT) kick-off.
Black Ferns v Canada always provides a spectacle for fans, with the 2025 Pacific Four Series seeing a 27-27 thriller at Christchurch’s Apollo Projects Stadium earlier that same year.
The Canadians and Black Ferns last met in the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-final, with Canada taking out a 34-19 win, seeing them go into the final against England. Both teams will have everything to play for when they meet again in Kansas City.
New Zealand Rugby General Manager of Professional Rugby and Performance Chris Lendrum said:
“This is an exciting opportunity for the Black Ferns to showcase their talent in front of new audiences. The United States is an important market for rugby, as we build toward the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2033.
“The Pacific Four Series is a chance for the Black Ferns to inspire and connect with other sport fans, through fast-paced, dynamic and entertaining rugby.”
USA Rugby CEO Bill Goren said:
“Welcoming all participating Unions for the Pacific Four Series this year is an exciting benchmark for USA Rugby, bringing the world-class tournament and teams to our US fanbase.
“With the Women's Rugby World Cup 2033 now one year closer, these multi-match events act as building blocks towards our goal of record success in 2033. Last year was a historic year for women's rugby, we're ready to continue that momentum this spring with a strong collective of host cities, partners and players.”
The Black Ferns will end their Pacific Four Series run when they meet the Wallaroos in a historic match at Sunshine Coast Stadium on ANZAC Day as previously announced.
