Lions announce women's tour of New Zealand in 2027
The British and Irish Lions will send a women's team to New Zealand for a historic three-Test series in September 2027. The inaugural women's Lions tour will feature three clashes against the current world champions. A Lions statement on Tuesday morning confirmed the tour will not overlap with that year's men's World Cup and will include warm-up fixtures, but said the full schedule had not yet been finalised. British and Irish Lions chief executive Ben Calveley said: "Playing three Test matches against the current world champions, the Black Ferns in New Zealand, in front of thousands of fans represents the ultimate challenge and makes for a fantastic sporting spectacle. "We look forward to working with all our stakeholders including New Zealand Rugby to finalise an exciting inaugural tour."
