The 2026 Pacific Four Series schedule has been confirmed with the USA Women’s Eagles to host Australia, Canada and New Zealand across three straight weekends this April.

Five of the six matches in the Pacific Four Series 2026 will be hosted across the United States, with Sacramento (Heart Health Park), Kansas City (CPKC Stadium), and Chicago (SeatGeek Stadium) set to welcome fans including two double header events.

With matches spanning across the country, fans will have 3 opportunities to cheer on the USA Eagles, or tune in live on Paramount+.

Tickets for the Pacific Four Series will go on pre-sale on February 17th, with general sale tickets available from February 19th. Fans can register for pre-sale access now here.

Sacramento’s Heart Health Park will play host to the opening matchups, as the USA square off with the Black Ferns, and RWC 2025 runners-up Canada face Australia.

At Kansas City’s CPKC Stadium, New Zealand will battle Canada, whilst the USA Women’s Eagles host the Wallaroos.

Finally, at Chicago’s SeatGeek Stadium, USA and Canada will fight for North American supremacy, whilst Australia and New Zealand will head to Sunshine Coast Stadium in Queensland to compete in the final match of the tournament on April 25.

These Pacific Four Series matches follow on from a banner year in 2025 for USA Women’s Rugby. Last year’s USA vs Canada women’s rugby match at CPKC Stadium set the all-time attendance record for a women’s rugby match—10,518—which remains the largest standalone attendance for a USA Women’s Rugby match ever.

And with the lead-up to hosting the Men’s and Women’s Rugby World Cups in 2031 and 2033, respectively, this slate of games is significant in underscoring USA Rugby’s growing popularity and role in the global game.

“Welcoming all participating unions for the Pacific Four Series this year is an exciting benchmark for USA Rugby, bringing the world class tournament and teams to our US fanbase," said USA Rugby CEO Bill Goren. "With the Women's Rugby World Cup 2033 now one year closer, these multi-match events act as building blocks towards our goal of record success in 2033. Last year was a historic year for women's rugby, we're ready to continue that momentum this spring with a strong collective of host cities, partners and players.”

“The US is at the heart of our global strategy to grow the reach, visibility and impact ahead of men’s and women’s Rugby World Cups being hosted in the US in 2031 and '33 respectively," added World Rugby Chief Executive Alan Gilpin. "Partnering with our national federations and cities enthusiastically engaged in the host selection process, we are excited to be bringing some of the very best rugby content to sports fans in the US ahead of these iconic events. The Pacific Four embodies that vision and we can’t wait to see the world’s best in action in Kansas City, Sacramento and Chicago later this year.”

The Pacific Four Series brings together four of the most successful women’s rugby nations in the world, as Australia, Canada and the USA seek to de-throne the defending champions, New Zealand.
