New Zealand women's rugby kicks off a new chapter on March 5 with the first Super Rugby Aupiki match at Eden Park.

On Friday, New Zealand Rugby declared the inaugural Super Rugby Aupiki season schedule. The first match will take place between Blues and Manawah in Auckland on Saturday, 5th March 2022.

2022 Super Rugby Aupiki's inaugural season will contain three rounds where all four teams will play each other once, and the top two teams playing the final once on 26th or 27th March.

The tournament round 3 will be the super round, all matches Blues VS Matat? And Chiefs Manawah vs Hurricanes will be played at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton.

Chris Lendrum, general manager of professional rugby and performance at NZR, said: "This year going to be interesting as we did not see before for the women's game, and Super Rugby Aupiki is a great way to start."

We have seen four teams bring together powerful and exciting sides, and this draw is the final piece of the puzzle before the tournament kicked off in March.

We are excited to see New Zealand behind the players and teams, as this first season is a benchmark for years to come.

The corroboration of the Super Rugby Aupiki draw comes in the same year that New Zealand will host the women's Rugby World Cup from October to November. All Super Rugby Aupiki games will live Air on Sky Sport in New Zealand.
