Women's Rugby World Cup

The Women’s Rugby World Cup (WRWC) 2025, taking place from August 22 to September 27, will feature 16 teams and be hosted across eight cities in England, including an opening match at Sunderland's Stadium of Light and the final at Twickenham Stadium in London. This tournament aims to break attendance records and promote women's rugby through the Impact ’25 initiative, which focuses on increasing participation and accessibility. Meanwhile, the 2024 Paris Olympics will see Australia and Team USA competing in the women's rugby sevens tournament, with Australia aiming to reclaim glory after their gold medal win in 2016. Team USA hopes to achieve their first Olympic medal, building on past performances where they finished fifth and sixth. Former rugby stars emphasize the importance of the Olympics in inspiring young girls to engage in rugby sevens, highlighting its accessibility and excitement as a pathway into the sport. As women's football and rugby gain momentum globally, these events are pivotal in fostering a new generation of female athletes.
