Potent Host England Helping Massive Ticket Sales for Women’s Rugby World Cup

An unprecedented 220,000 tickets have been sold with 60% priced under £25 to boost accessibility and fan engagement, organizers said.

  • The 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup begins on August 22 in England, featuring 16 teams across eight stadiums including Sunderland and Twickenham.
  • World Rugby expanded the tournament back to 16 teams due to surging interest and participation in women's rugby, with a record number of women coaches and volunteers.
  • England enters the tournament as the clear frontrunner, having maintained an unbeaten streak for almost three years, supported by powerful forwards and strong backing from across the region, as highlighted by player Portia Woodman-Wickliffe.
  • More than 375,000 tickets, representing 80% of total tickets, have sold rapidly with 60% of buyers under 25, and England’s opening match against the USA will host 40,000 fans in Sunderland.
  • The sold-out final at Twickenham on September 27 guarantees the largest one-day women’s rugby crowd ever and signals further momentum for women’s sports in England.
