When the two sides meet for the first of the two-game series in November, it will mark the 12th all-time meeting between the two programs. They most recently met in the 2025 Women’s Champions Classic, with UConn winning 90-64 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. They’ve also met twice in the NCAA Tournament over the last six seasons, with UConn winning in the 2021 Sweet Sixteen and Iowa winning in the 2024 Final Four to advance to their second consecutive national title game.
With UConn’s trip to Iowa City in 2027, it will be the Huskies first trip to Carver-Hawkeye Arena since 1999. That year, the Hawkeyes fell to the top-ranked Huskies 73-45 under head coach Angie Lee.
