The 2016 Laurie O'Reilly Cup was the ninth edition of the competition.

Australia toured New Zealand to play the Black Ferns in a two test series on 22 and 26 October.[1][2] The Wallaroos played the Auckland Storm in a warm-up match at Bell Park on 18 October in Pakuranga.[3][1]

The Black Ferns thrashed Australia in the first test, which was a double header with the All Blacks and Wallabies, 67–3 at Eden Park.[4][5][6] The Wallaroos improved in the second test on the North Shore, but it still wasn't enough, as the Black Ferns retained the Laurie O'Reilly trophy and won the series.[7][8]
