Laurie O'Reilly Cup

The Laurie O'Reilly Cup is the trophy competed for by the women's rugby union teams of Australia and New Zealand.

The two nations met annually between 1994 and 1998, with New Zealand winning all games, often by significant margins, as a result of which the series fell into abeyance, but was revived in 2007.

[1][2][3] The Cup is named in honour of Laurie O’Reilly, New Zealand's first women's Selector and National coach who died in 1998.

The Black Ferns has won every fixture so far and are the current holders of the O’Reilly Cup with a total of 17 wins.

[7] In 2020, All planned test matches for the Wallaroos were cancelled due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as was the September tour to New Zealand in 2021.
