Australia's Jillaroos have claimed their fourth consecutive Women's Rugby League World Cup title, triumphing over New Zealand's Kiwi Ferns with a dominant 34-10 victory at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
The Jillaroos established an early lead, scoring six first-half tries. Star winger Jaime Chapman was a standout performer, securing a hat-trick before the break. Her three tries in the final brought her tournament tally to 13, setting a new individual record for a World Cup.
New Zealand, who had not beaten Australia in three years, entered the final as underdogs despite a strong semi-final win. However, they struggled against Australia's relentless speed and power, trailing 34-6 by half-time. The score remained largely unchanged through an error-riddled second half.
