The Wallaroos will play their 100th Test ever as part of a loaded 2026 season.

This will also see the team embark on a maiden tour of the USA, along with a two-Test series against Scotland.

Australia will begin their season on March 27 against Fijiana in Canberra, out to retain the Vuvale Bowl.

Following this, the side will head to the USA for two Tests, facing Canada (April 11) and the hosts (April 17).

They will also open their O'Reilly Cup series against the Kiwis in April as part of the Pacific Four Series.

The international season will break for Super Rugby Women's in June, with the same format in 2025, culminating in the Women's Super Rugby Champions Final against the winners of New Zealand's Super Rugby Aupiki.

The Wallaroos will resume their calendar with a match against the Kiwis at Go Media Stadium in Auckland on August 22, marking the 100th game in the team's history.

Australia will then travel to the Northern Hemisphere for three Tests as part of the WXV Global series before returning home for two games against Scotland, who travel to Australia for the first time.

“The road to the 2029 World Cup in Australia begins now for the Wallaroos and the schedule for the next 12 months allows the squad to build a solid base," RA CEO Phil Waugh said.

“Having a consistent 10 Test matches each year for the next three years provides stability at the international level for the players to get quality matches in.

“The Wallaroos will play the top teams in the world, including Rugby World Cup 2025 runners-up Canada, and renew our rivalries with New Zealand and the United States.  “The opportunity to travel to the US and Europe provides vital experience for the squad, while we look forward to hosting Scotland on home soil for the first time.” 

Further locations will be confirmed in the coming weeks and months, with the full Super Rugby Women's schedule to be announced in January.

“Following the incredible Rugby World Cup in England, it's fantastic to confirm a bumper year for the squad, featuring notable firsts like an outbound tour of the USA and an inbound series against Scotland," RA GM of Women's Rugby Jilly Collins added.

“Reaching our 100th Test match next year will be a powerful milestone. It took 24 years to reach 50, and only eight more to hit 100 - a clear demonstration of the accelerated development of the women's game.

“A huge amount of work has gone on behind the scenes with World Rugby and other unions to reshape the women's calendar and secure world-class opposition for the next four years as part of the WXV Global Series.

“While there is plenty more to do, this is another key building block as we build towards 2029.”
