The USA Rugby Women National Team (WNT) staff have selected 36 players for the impending WXV Global Series. Between Sept. 20-Oct. 30, the Eagles will play five matches in three countries, affording lots of international experience for the players and plenty of at-home entertainment for U.S.-based fans.

The Eagles will head across the Atlantic to kick off the first leg of their tour Sunday, Sept. 20 in Dublin, Ireland. They will then travel to Wales before returning stateside for three domestic home games in October to complete the five-match circuit. The USA will play Italy in Mansfield, Texas (Oct. 17) and Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 24), and then England in Harrison, N.J. (Oct. 30). The final two matches are double-headers with the USA Men’s 15s team. Buy tickets.

“We are now nine months into the new cycle, and over the last nine months we have been able to assess and work with athletes in all USA camps, building competition with the U20s and Falcons and of course the day-to-day with the Sevens program,” said USA WNT head coach Jack Hanratty. “The Global XV is exactly what we want to challenge ourselves against top teams, and although we have been excited for athletes to express themselves on the field, we now want to hold ourselves to world-class standards both on and off the field.”

With a reinvigorated and aligned USA Women’s Eagles programs, Women’s 15s Head Coach Jack Hanratty and USA Women’s Sevens Head Coach Emilie Bydwell have come together to create synergies and amplify player development across the entire USA Rugby Women’s player pool. Chula Vista residents include Olympian Kayla Canett, Ashley Cowdrey, Karina Gauto, Tessa Hann, Hann Humphreys and Tahna Wilfley.

Similar to Cass Bargell and Erica Coulibaly, who joined the USA 7s setup following the 2025 Rugby World Cup, Erica Jarrell- Searcy has joined the 7s Eagles and returns to the 15s game to co-captain the team Georgie Perris-Redding.

After making a statement on the recent USA Falcons tour to Brazil, dynamic prospects Nina Mason, Lauryn Carlton, Malia Isaacs and Kennedy Feasby have earned their USA Eagles call-up.

“It’s great to have the energy of collaboration with the Sevens program and building off the great integration from PAC4 and the South Africa tour, with both Tahna and Kayla being welcomed additions,” Hanratty said.

The USA Women’s Eagles begin the Global Series with a two-week training camp in Dublin before traveling to Cardiff, Wales. The group will then return home and reconvene in October for a final camp in preparation for Italy and England. USA fans can purchase tickets or catch all the action on Paramount+.
