The 2025 Super Rugby Women’s competition will include six double-headers, four development fixtures featuring a touring Pasifika team and culminate in the first-ever trans-Tasman championship game.

The season kicks off on Friday 28 February and will conclude with the 2025 Grand Final to be played at North Sydney Oval on Saturday 12 April.

In a historic moment for the elite women’s game, the Super Rugby Women’s champion will then face the winner of New Zealand’s Super Rugby Aupiki competition in the inaugural Women’s Super Rugby Champions Final on Thursday 17 April.

Every game of the 2025 Super Rugby Women’s season will be broadcast ad-free, live and on demand on Stan Sport.

Rugby Australia General Manager Women’s Rugby Jilly Collins said:

“Super Rugby Women’s will go to another level in 2025 as our teams compete for both the championship and the right to participate in the first-ever Women’s Super Rugby Champions Final.

“As well as a historic event for the women’s game, the Final will be a showcase of elite women’s Rugby that helps to elevate the game across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

“With the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup kicking off in August, there are so many storylines to play out as players across our competition fight for a spot on the plane to England.”

The Super Rugby Women’s season begins with a Grand Final rematch between the defending champions NSW Waratahs and Fijian Drua at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.

The action continues on Saturday 1 March as the Western Force host the ACT Brumbies at HBF Park, with both opening round games forming double-headers with Super Rugby Pacific fixtures.

Meanwhile four development fixtures featuring Penina Pasifika will ensure the Australian Super Rugby Women’s sides take the field each week of the regular season.

Penina Pasifika brings together the best up-and-coming women’s Rugby talent from the Pacific region, in particular Samoa and Tonga, and is funded through the Australian Government’s PacificAus Sports program.
