Australia's women's rugby league team booked their place in the 2026 World Cup final after a hard-fought victory over Fiji on November 8, 2026. The match, which served as a semi-final, saw Australia overcome a spirited Fiji side to advance to the championship decider.

Star winger Abbi Church was the standout performer, crossing for four tries to take her tournament tally to eight in just four matches. Her prolific scoring proved decisive as Australia secured their spot in the final.

The victory continues Australia's dominant run in the tournament, with the team now one win away from lifting the World Cup trophy. They will await the winner of the other semi-final to determine their opponent in the final.
