On the heels of their victory last week against South Africa, the Black Ferns are through to the semi-final of the Rugby Women’s World Cup, where they will go head-to-head with Canada. The live game kicks off at 06:00 am this Saturday - so instead we’re gathering Saturday nightfor a Sapphic/Queer watch party of the replay to celebrate, connect, and back our girls!

Bring your mates, or make some at the bar. 🏳️‍🌈✨ LGBTQ+ folks and allies are all welcome for a night of sport, community, and HUGE Ferns energy 💅

Here’s what’s on:

• Doors open 5:30 PM | Kick off starts 6:00 PM (don't be late & come early to grab a good spot!)

• Private venue, big screens & a projector for the best view in the house

• Full bar + kitchen to keep you fuelled

• Pool table, vibes, and space to connect

• Special guest + Giveaways from our friends at NZ Rugby to keep the energy high

Whether you’re a die-hard rugby fan or just here for the vibes, this is the place to cheer, chant, and celebrate together.

This is a free community event, open to sapphics, queers, allies, and rugby fans alike. While there’s no ticket required, there will be the option to support Women in Sport Aotearoa with a donation, helping to back and empower women in sport across Aotearoa.

At Sapphic events, we celebrate the full diversity of our community including sapphic, trans, non-binary, and genderqueer individuals. Everyone is welcome to enjoy a safe and inclusive environment. Allies are warmly invited, and we ask that you be mindful and respectful of the space we have created for our community.
