England Rugby Awaits Women’s RWC 2025

As the rugby calendar unfolds in 2025, England is gearing up for a significant event in the women’s game. The Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, set to kick off on August 22, 2025, promises to be a landmark tournament. The opening match will feature hosts England facing off against the USA at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, a clash that brings together two previous winners of the tournament.

World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin has high expectations for the event, predicting it to be a `breakthrough moment` for the sport. With over 220,000 tickets already sold, it is poised to be the best-attended women’s edition of the Rugby World Cup ever. Stars like Ellie Kildunne, Sophie de Goede, and potentially Ilona Maher are set to take the stage, drawing a new and diverse audience to the sport.

The tournament is anticipated to inspire a new set of fans, presenting a younger, more inclusive, and family-oriented face of rugby. The final match is scheduled to take place at Twickenham Stadium on September 27, with organizers confident of selling out the event.
