World Rugby announced six officials from four unions for women’s internationals between August and October. The appointments covered matches outside the WXV Global Series and its Challenger competition.

Jess Ling and Amber McLachlan were assigned Fiji’s two tests against South Africa, while Maggie Cogger-Orr would referee New Zealand against Australia in Auckland. Ella Goldsmith received Japan–Fiji and Zoe Naude South Africa–New Zealand.

Clara Munarini was appointed to Ireland against Japan in Cork on 3 October. The announcement separated these appointments from the WXV selections, which were to be released later.
