The Black Ferns XV is the second women's national rugby union team of New Zealand, after the Black Ferns. Matches played by the 'Black Ferns XV' are non-test matches, usually against a touring side or lower tier rugby nation.
History.
The Black Ferns XV were introduced to New Zealand Rugby’s high performance women’s pathway in 2023. They played their first match against the Manusina XV at Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe on 23 September 2023.
The side will be providing international rugby in a touring environment which will help accelerate the development of a wider group of players outside the Black Ferns and will build the depth of women’s rugby in New Zealand. 
In 2025, the side will assemble on 29 June for a trial match against the Black Ferns in Whangarei on 5 July, and it will be part of a double-header fixture at Semenoff Stadium that also features the Māori All Blacks against Scotland. The trial match would also offer players another chance to "impress the Black Ferns coaches ahead of the Laurie O’Reilly Cup and the Rugby World Cup selection for a broader group of New Zealand’s top professional players." The matches will also be a boost for the Black Ferns in their Rugby World Cup preparations.
Willie Walker was announced as the Black Ferns XVs Head Coach for their 2025 campaign. They will play the Black Ferns in Whangarei in July, and will also play two matches against South Africa.
