The 2026 Super Rugby Aupiki season is the fifth and most recent season of the top-flight New Zealand women's rugby union competition, Super Rugby. The season fixtures were released on 18 February 2026, consisting of six rounds and a Grand Final to decide the season champions.[1]
As last year, it was announced that the Super Rugby Aupiki champions would play the champions of the Australian Super Rugby competition, Super Rugby Women's, at the end of the season. This new competition, which is formatted similarly to a super cup, is called the Super Rugby Champions Final.[2][3][4] It will be the second edition of the new competition, and is set to be hosted in Australia.
New this year was the introduction of the "All In" Round, which will see a double header played at Navigation Homes Stadium in Round 3.[5]
