Canada’s capital will play host to an epic showdown on the pitch this summer, with Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team playing the United States in Ottawa on August 1.

Kicking off at 4:00pm PT / 7:00pm ET at TD Place, this will be the world number two ranked Canadian team’s only home game of the season and final match on Canadian soil before vying for the 2025 Rugby World Cup trophy in England.

The rugby community in Ontario and Quebec (and other provinces interested in club travel) will be offered the opportunity to fundraise for their clubs and attend the match together via the Club Ticket Program. Details, including a special ticket link exclusively for club members that will grant access to tickets in a designated section of the stadium and donate 15% of ticket sales back to the club, will be distributed to clubs shortly.

This is the fourth year in a row that Ottawa has hosted international rugby rivalries. Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team last competed at TD Place in 2023 for the Pacific Four Series, playing in front of the largest crowd in Canadian women’s rugby history (10,092) in a loss to New Zealand before beating Australia. In 2022 and 2024, it was Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team who took to the pitch at TD Place.

Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team currently holds a nine-game winning streak over the United States. These sides last met in April 2024 for the Pacific Four Series, with Canada winning 50-7, their first of three consecutive victories en route to winning the tournament. This season, Canada will once again kick off the Pacific Four Series against the USA, meeting the Americans on May 2 in Kansas City.
