Laurie O'Reilly Cup

The Laurie O'Reilly Cup is the trophy competed for by the women's rugby union teams of Australia and New Zealand. The two nations met annually between 1994 and 1998, with New Zealand winning all games, often by significant margins, as a result of which the series fell into abeyance, but was revived in 2007.[1][2][3]

History

The Cup is named after Laurie O’Reilly, New Zealand's first women's national coach.[4]
