New Zealand and the United States clashed for the first time officially at the inaugural 1991 Rugby World Cup in Wales. Although there was an earlier encounter at RugbyFest 1990, only the USA considers this match to be an official test whereas New Zealand lists the match as an unofficial "New Zealand XV" fixture. Excluding the 1990 encounter, they have faced each other 16 times with New Zealand winning 15, and the USA winning once. The Eagles handed the Black Ferns their first defeat in the semi-final, winning 7–0. They also faced each other in three separate World Cups in 1998, 2014 and 2017. At the 2014 World Cup they met twice, in the pool stages and in the fifth-place playoff.

The Eagles hosted the Black Ferns for the first time at Soldier Field in Chicago, as part of a Rugby Weekend triple header. The United States were trounced 6–67 by the Black Ferns. They met at the 2022 Pacific Four Series in New Zealand where the Black Ferns clinched their first series title after beating the Eagles (50–6) in the final match.

The Black Ferns extended their winning streak to 16 after defeating the Eagles at the 2026 Pacific Four Series in the United States.
