History of women's rugby union matches between Australia and New Zealand

Australia women and New Zealand women have played each other 29 times, with the Black Ferns winning every match between the two teams. They played their inaugural test match on the 2nd of September 1994 in Sydney, Australia.[1] It was the Wallaroos first test and the Black Ferns fourth, with the latter winning that encounter (37–0). They have competed for the Laurie O'Reilly Cup since its inception in 1994 with the Black Ferns winning all 25 games. They have met at the Rugby World Cup on three separate occasions in 2002, 2010, and at the delayed 2021 tournament hosted by New Zealand.
