The Women’s Rugby Super Series 2015 was an international women's rugby union competition contested by 2014 world champion England, runner-up Canada, New Zealand and United States.^[1]

Super Series replaced Nations Cup, another important tournament organized jointly by United States, England and Canada with rotating host locations. Guest teams from other nations also took part, most recently South Africa. Canada conquered the last edition by breaking a 17-game winning streak by England. The format changed with games being played over three double-headers in Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton.^[2]

The tournament was won by New Zealand with England second, United States third and Canada last.
