Super Series Women’s Int’l Rugby – USA, Canada, New Zealand & England

Out goes the Nations Cup and in comes the Super Series of XVs. If you aren’t familiar with Nations Cup, it was an international women’s rugby union series organized jointly by USA Rugby, the England and Canada. It was played each summer with rotating host locations. Guest teams from other nations also take part, most recently South Africa.

At the last Nations Cup in 2013, Canada emerged the victor over England, 27-13. Canada snapped a 17 game winning streak by England and took home the last ever Nations Cup Title. England took the three Nations Cups before that in 2008, 2009 and 2011.

The Super Series is a huge boost for the women’s game as it will include powerhouses, Canada, New Zealand, England and the USA. The format has also changed a bit as there will be double-header game days at three different venues in Alberta – Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton –on June 27, July 1 and July 5.
