The Black Ferns' world champs success is set to be celebrated in Wellington this Wednesday.
Mayor Justin Lester has just released the details of the celebration, which will be held in Civic Square around midday.
"After the performance of the Black Ferns at the Women's Rugby World Cup, Wellington putits hand up straight away for a celebration," Lester said.
"As a city we are very proud of the Black Ferns' achievements and we are delighted that Wellington has an opportunity to show our appreciation for the team."
The Ferns took out the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup final in Ireland at the end of August.
"To meet so many young people, especially young women and girls, was a humbling feeling and really brought home to the team the impact that we have had."
The celebration will take place on Wednesday at Civic Square from 12pm to 1.30pm.
