The Wallaroos will first host the USA on May 17 in Canberra, while the Black Ferns will host the final round in Auckland on May 24. The USA vs. Canada opening match is likely to be hosted in the United States, with date and location still being finalized.

Head Coach Sione Fukofuka said on the upcoming international tour:

Playing in the Pacific Four Series is always a major part of our international calendar, even more so in 2025 as a key part of our Rugby World Cup preparation. PAC4 is a world class tournament that includes three very tough opposition, all ranked top five in the world. This provides us with an opportunity to test ourselves and our growth by building on performances from 2024 and continuing to develop our ability to play Eagles rugby against top international opposition. There were glimpses in 2024 of where we are heading, and PAC4 allows us to push ourselves to perform in every match; and develop our squad depth by building strong competition within the team in the lead into the Rugby World Cup.
