The New Zealand women's national rugby league team, also known as the Kiwi Ferns or New Zealand Kiwi Ferns, represents New Zealand in women's rugby league. They are administered by the New Zealand Rugby League.
New Zealand won the Women's Rugby League World Cup in 2000, 2003 and 2008.[1][2]
History
[edit]The Kiwi Ferns were formed in 1995.[3]
Touring Australia in June and July 1995, the team won all seven games that they played.[4] Two of the games were full internationals against Australia.
The First Test Match was held on 1 July 1995 at Lidcombe Oval in Sydney.[5] New Zealand 18 defeated Australia 14. The Second Test was held on 8 July 1995 at Hawker Oval in Canberra. New Zealand 14 defeated Australia 6.[6]
In 1997, New Zealand hosted Australia for two Test matches, winning both.
New Zealand hosted an 1998 tour by Great Britain, winning all three matches by comfortable margins, the score of 28 to 6 in the First Test being the closest.
During a Trans-Tasman series in 1999, New Zealand experienced their first defeat, a narrow 20-22 loss in the Second Test at Penrith. New Zealand won the third Test in Auckland to claim the series two-one.
New Zealand competed in the 2000 World Cup, beating Australia and Great Britain twice each to claim the inaugural title.
New Zealand remained undefeated in the 2000s until a one-off Test Match against Australia in 2009. During this period, the Kiwi Ferns won one-off matches in 2001 and 2002, all six matches in the 2003 World Cup to claim their second title, two matches in 2004, another in 2006, and all five matches in the 2008 World Cup to claim their third title as World Cup champions. The winning streak extended to 21 matches.
