2011 end-of-year women's rugby union tests
# 2011 end-of-year women's rugby union tests

The 2011 end of year women's rugby tests was a series of women's rugby union matches. New Zealand toured the Northern Hemisphere, according to a three-year international test agreement signed between RFU and NZRU in August 2011: England would host three tests in the autumn of 2011 and 2012 before heading to New Zealand for three further matches in June 2013, just a year before the 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup.

Before competing with the world champions New Zealand, England played against France twice: the first game wasn't an uncapped match, while the second was a full international test. France also contested a game with Italy.

Scotland travelled to Amsterdam to take on the Netherlands after finishing last at this year's Six Nations.

That was the largest round of autumn women's rugby internationals ever seen in the game at this time of year, especially in Europe.
