The United States women's national rugby league team, also known as the Hawks represents the United States in women's rugby league. They are administered by the USA Rugby League.

The team was announced on April 9, 2019 and they intend to bid to play in both the 2021 and the 2025 Rugby League World Cups.[1] In 2019, the USARL announced plans for all national representative teams to be known as Hawks,[2] however, when the women's team played their first international match in April 2022 they were called the Redtails.[3] The name was changed when the USARL Hawks' women's administration committee was formed in May 2022.[4]
