Black Ferns v Canada

An epic series of afternoon kick-offs in Hamilton, Christchurch and Auckland will be a feature of the Black Ferns Pacific Four Series schedule as they set out to defend their title in 2024.

The Black Ferns will start their Pacific Four Series against USA in Hamilton before heading south to Ōtautahi Christchurch, to play Canada at 4.35pm on Sunday 19 May at Apollo Projects Stadium. North Harbour Stadium will host the trans-Tasman battle against Australia, on Saturday 25 May with the fixture doubling as the opening Test of the O’Reilly Cup, presented by Ryman Healthcare.

The results of the Pacific Four Series will also dictate the Black Ferns WXV schedule later in the year with the top three sides gaining qualification for WXV1 and the bottom placed team destined for WXV2.
