Red Roses v New Zealand

England’s Red Roses face New Zealand’s Black Ferns at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on 26 September 2026 in a blockbuster WXV Global Series fixture and one of the most compelling women’s rugby matches of the year. The Red Roses have been the dominant force in women’s rugby globally for several years, winning back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams and lifting the Rugby World Cup in 2022, but the Black Ferns remain their fiercest and most dangerous rivals — a side packed with pace, skill and physicality that will test England at the very highest level. Twickenham, the home of England Rugby with a capacity of 82,000, provides a world-class stage for the highest tier of the women’s game, and with strong interest expected a significant crowd is anticipated on the day. This fixture is part of the WXV Global Series structure designed to bring together the world’s best women’s rugby nations in marquee international contests outside of the World Cup cycle, giving London fans a rare chance to watch two of the sport’s most celebrated teams go head to head. Kick-off is 15:00 BST on Saturday 26 September. General tickets are available via the RFU’s official ticketing partner at eticketing.co.uk, with hospitality options including the Clubhouse Bar and Kitchen from £144pp and premium suite packages for groups and corporate guests. This is a must-see fixture for any women’s rugby fan in London.
