XV pour hommes et femmes

The recently formed women's competition, tiered by performance and ranking, will see Canada and USA in the WXV1 bracket in 2024. Participating teams will include the top three teams from the Women’s Six Nations (Europe) and the top three teams from World Rugby’s Pacific Four Series.

RAN supports the organization and oversight of interregional test matches, working to create more formal competition opportunities between our member unions’ men’s and women’s fifteens programs.

Canada and USA Men will compete in the newly formed Pacific Nations Cup, running from August 31 through September 21, 2024. The two RAN nations will be in Pool B with Japan.

Rugby Americas North hosts an annual XVs Tournament for Men’s U19 and Senior Women sides from around the region. The 2024 edition of the event will feature an important milestone for our region’s Senior Women’s 15 a-side rugby as the competition will culminate in full, 80-minute international matches for all women’s teams with World Rugby ranking points at stake.
