England Beat Canada 33-13 to Win World Cup

England defeated Canada 33-13 to win the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup at a sold-out Twickenham, lifting the trophy before roughly 81,800–82,000 fans — the largest attendance ever for a women’s rugby match. The victory completed a 33‑match unbeaten run for the Red Roses and capped years of investment and professionalisation that coach John Mitchell credited for the squad’s depth. Hosts dominated the final, with captain Zoe Aldcroft and stars including Ellie Kildunne and veteran Natasha Hunt celebrating on the pitch, while Canada — who had reached the decider after upsetting New Zealand — were outplayed on the day. The tournament smashed attendance and ticketing records, with hundreds of thousands of tickets sold and packed stadia across England, prompting organisers, players and commentators to say the event has significantly raised the profile of women’s rugby. A public celebration for the team was scheduled in London after the win, reflecting widespread public and royal support.
