The interesting point is that the series finishes on the 30th October with a Double-header at the New Jersey Sports Illustrated stadium, USA men play Australia and the Women take on England's Red Roses.
Looking beyond 2031 the Women's World Cup also arrives in the US in 2033. A Black Ferns v Red Roses fixture might be worth giving a spin in the US.
