2011 end-of-year women's rugby union tests

The 2011 end of year women's rugby tests was a series of women's rugby union matches. New Zealand toured the Northern Hemisphere, according to a three-year international test agreement signed between RFU and NZRU in August 2011: England would host three tests in the autumn of 2011 and 2012 before heading to New Zealand for three further matches in June 2013, just a year before the 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup.[1][2]

Before competing with the world champions New Zealand, England played against France twice: the first game wasn't an uncapped match, while the second was a full international test.[3] France also contested a game with Italy.[4][5]

Scotland travelled to Amsterdam to take on the Netherlands after finishing last at this year's Six Nations.[6][7]

That was the largest round of autumn women's rugby internationals ever seen in the game at this time of year, especially in Europe.[8]
