Canada and the United States played the first-ever women's test outside of Europe in Victoria, British Columbia on 14 November 1987. They have played each other 48 times since their first game, with Canada winning 29 matches and the Eagles only 19. They have met at three Rugby World Cup's on four occasions — 1998, 2010, and twice at the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup that was held in New Zealand in 2022.
The USA won nine consecutive matches from 1987 to 1999, whereas Canada have exceeded that feat by beating their North American rivals 11 times in a row since November 2019. The fixture also holds the attendance record for a standalone women's rugby match in North America, which was set in Ottawa on 1 August 2025, when Canada defeated the United States in front of a crowd of 11,453.
