Scotland Women will play two international fixtures this summer against USA and Spain, with the matches providing crucial competitive Tests ahead of the Rugby World Cup 2021 (playing in 2022) in New Zealand.
Scotland’s schedule will begin with a Test against USA, who are currently ranked fifth in the World Rugby rankings, at the DAM Health Stadium in Edinburgh on Saturday 27 August (kick-off time to be confirmed).
The Eagles have recently returned to home soil following the conclusion of the 2022 Pacific Four Series in New Zealand, where the side competed against the Black Ferns, Australia and Canada.
Scotland’s last encounter against USA was during the 2006 Women’s Rugby World Cup in Edmonton, Canada, with the Eagles taking the spoils in the 5th place play-off.
The Dark Blues will return to DAM Health Stadium two weeks after their USA match to face familiar opponents, Spain on Sunday 11 September. (Kick-off time to be confirmed).
Scotland’s previous clash with Spain was during last year’s Rugby World Cup Europe Qualifiers tournament in Parma, with the Scots holding off a late comeback from Spain to record a 22-27 victory.
Scotland Head Coach, Bryan Easson, said: “To host two quality sides such as USA and Spain as part of our Summer Test campaign will provide a fantastic opportunity for our squad to develop and grow ahead of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
“We thoroughly enjoyed playing in front of a record home crowd against England at DAM Health Stadium in April so hopefully we will have another great crowd to send-off the team to New Zealand at the two matches.”
Come along and get behind the team on their road to New Zealand, with pre-sale access to Scotland’s Summer Tests going live on Friday 1 July for Scotland Season Pass holders, Scotland Supporters Club Members and Edinburgh Rugby season ticket members. General sale tickets will be available on Tuesday 5 July.

Rugby is a team game played with an oval ball that may be kicked, carried, and passed from hand to hand. Points are scored by grounding the ball behind the opponents’ goal line (thereby scoring a try) or by kicking it between the two posts and over the crossbar of the opponents’ goal.
