The 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup is here with England hosting an expanded edition of the tournament.

16 teams, four more than competed three years ago in New Zealand, will vie for success in the biggest Women’s World Cup yet to be played across the length and breadth of the country.

The Red Roses are favourites to triumph on home soil having gone unbeaten since losing the final to the Black Ferns in Auckland in 2022, but will again expect a tough challenge from the two-time defending champions.

France and Canada will also harbour hopes of a breakthrough success in an event that could prove a real catalyst for the growth of the women’s game.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is the Women’s Rugby World Cup?

The 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup will be held in England, starting with the opening clash in Sunderland on Friday 22 August and culminating with the third place play-off and final at Twickenham on Saturday 27 September.

What cities are hosting games?

There are eight venues for the tournament. Sunderland’s Stadium of Light was used for the opening game, while Exeter’s Sandy Park and Bristol’s Ashton Gate will play host to the quarter-finals – with the latter stadium again used for the two semi-finals. Twickenham will host the final, with World Rugby confirming a sellout crowd.

The Brighton and Hove Albion Stadium, Salford Community Stadium, Franklin’s Gardens in Northampton and York Community Stadium will host pool matches.
