WXV Global Series 2026

Everything you need to know ahead of the new tournament.

The next step in international rugby

The WXV Global Series introduces a new format featuring the top 18 national teams in the world, delivering certainty, increased, meaningful competition and driving long-term performance and commercial sustainability in the women’s game.

The top 12 teams (Australia, Canada, England, France, Italy, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, USA, Wales) will compete in a home-and-away, cross-regional touring model within a newly aligned September – October international window. Significantly, unions will retain domestic commercial rights to their home fixtures, recognising the importance of growing the value of the women’s game in each country, and supporting reinvestment in player pathways and national programmes.

Fixtures

We will begin our campaign against the 2025 Women’s World Cup runners-up Canada on Saturday 12 September, before welcoming the Black Ferns the following weekend and concluding our home WXV fixtures against the Aussies on 26 September. The three fixtures in Edinburgh will form the Vodafone Scotland WXV Series, as part of the overall WXV Global Series presented by Mitsubishi Electric.

Scotland’s away fixtures will take place against Australia on 17 October and 23 October.
