The New Zealand Black Ferns are the most successful team in Women's Rugby World Cup history, competing at every tournament except 1994, they have claimed the title a record five times.
Ireland famously beat New Zealand in the 2014 World Cup where they ended the Black Ferns’ incredible 21-match winning run on the World Cup stage, a run which lasted over two decades.
The Black Ferns have never competed in a Rugby World Cup final and not won - an incredible achievement.
