The New Zealand under 17 women's football team have lost 2-1 to Ireland in a friendly in Miami today, less than a week out from the World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago.

The Young Football Ferns were confident of scalping the European runners-up and looked on track when Evie Millynn put New Zealand ahead in the 25th minute, but a Siobhan Killeen equaliser before halftime and a late winner from Rebecca Kearney earned the Irish the spoils.

New Zealand's first World Cup match is against Venezuela in Trinidad next Tuesday morning (NZT). Their other group C opponents are Spain and Japan.
