Women's rugby champion New Zealand lost for the first time in eight years when it was toppled 10-3 by England at Twickenham on Saturday.
New Zealand's Black Ferns had won the first test 16-3 a week before and thrashed England A midweek, but succumbed to their first loss since England beat them in 2001.
England captain and No. 8 Catherine Spencer scored the only try on her 50th cap before a record 12,500 crowd, following the men's test won by the All Blacks 19-6.
The Black Ferns will return to England next year to defend the Women's World Cup they have held since 1998.
England 10 (Catherine Spencer try; Katy McLean conversion, drop goal),
New Zealand 3 (Rebecca Mahoney drop goal).
HT: 7-3.
