USA Rugby Coming to Kansas City’s CPKC Stadium
March 21, 2025
USA Rugby & World Rugby are partnering with TEG Sport to host a series of world-class international rugby matches across four cities in 2025, as the USA Eagles embark on a landmark year on the global rugby stage.
In Kansas City, the Women’s Eagles will play Canada on May 2 at CPKC Stadium, the world’s first stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional team and home of the National Women’s Soccer League’s Kansas City Current. The KC region has established itself as a standout sports destination, delivering a first-rate fan atmosphere and premier venues that attract a wide range of world-class athletic events, including USA Rugby.
This initiative is a key pillar of World Rugby’s commitment to growing the sport in the U.S in partnership with USA Rugby and key stakeholders, driving fan engagement, commercial investment, and high-performance opportunities for the Eagles ahead of hosting Rugby World Cups in 2031 (men) and 2033 (women).
With the Women’s Eagles targeting success at the biggest-ever Rugby World Cup in England later this year and the Men’s Eagles chasing Australia 2027 qualification, an exciting schedule of 12 international matches on American soil will provide unprecedented access for fans, boosting engagement and driving rugby’s national impact.
