The Royal Navy first played the Army in 2003 at the start of the Women's Inter Service Championship. Originally the matches were played at 'home' venues. They were then moved to the Twickenham area and played on Army Navy day. Since 2007 the matches have been played at Kneller Hall, the Army's school of music; adjacent to Twickenham. The match is played on the morning of the Army Navy game alongside the Veterans match.
Since the start of the Inter Service Women's tournament the Army Women have remained unbeaten. With a raise in the standard of play by the RAF Women the Army have also been forced to raise their game. With most of the players having Premiership level experience the RN Women have struggled to compete in the recent fixtures.
