United States and Greece men's teams had intended to play a second game two days prior on 26 February 18:00 kick-off at the same venue. The game was cancelled after copper cables were stolen from the floodlights leaving them inoperable. [4] The men's and women's double header on the 28 February were brought forward by four hours as a result.

This match was initially planned to be Test 1 of a three match women's Ashes series to be concluded in the autumn. [5] Originally set to take place in Australia but later switched to England alongside the equivalent men's games. [6] At the time of the game, the fixture was no longer being described as part of the Ashes, saw a blowout 90–4 victory in Australia's favour. In the weeks that followed, criticism occurred as a result of the gulf in performance which highlighted the superior set up that women's rugby league had in Australia compared to England. [7] No fixtures of the 2025 Women's Ashes were planned as of 26 March 2025, the date of announcement of the 2025 Men's Ashes; and in the months that followed, doubts emerged over the productiveness of contesting the remaining fixtures.
