USA Rugby is hosting the world’s top five ranked women’s rugby teams with the return of the Super Series. Taking place in the greater San Diego area June 28 to July 14, it showcases the best of the best in the women’s game.
Kicking off for the first time in three years and increasing from four to five teams, the Super Series will feature No. 1 New Zealand, No. 2 England, No. 3 Canada, No.4 France, and No. 5 United States. The tournament was last hosted by the United States in 2016 where Canada won the title and England claimed runner-up for the second consecutive cycle.
Hosted in partnership with World Rugby, the Women’s Rugby Super Series 2019 serves as a meaningful step in generating more exposure for the larger women’s game and providing athletes with much-needed playing time. With teams all playing each other once, the event will bring a total of ten international test matches to a growing population of rugby fans in Southern California.
Overall, two games will be played per day on June 28, July 2, July 6, July 10 and July 14 allowing both teams and fans multiple opportunities to experience high-level competition. Each team will use one match date as a bye with the first four rounds taking place at the Elite Athlete Training Center — also the training site for the USA Women’s and Men’s Sevens teams — and the final round on July 14 happening at Torero Stadium.
