2025 Women's Rugby World Cup
Updated: 12/11/2025, 8:31:21 AM Wikipedia source
The 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup was the tenth edition of the Women's Rugby World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for national rugby union teams, organised by World Rugby. It was held in England between 22 August and 27 September 2025. The opening game took place at the Stadium of Light, with the final was held at Twickenham Stadium. The event returned to its traditional 4-year cycle following the 2021 Women's Rugby World Cup (as Rugby World Cup) postponed until 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. England won the competition, beating Canada 33–13 in the final. It was the second women's Rugby Union World Cup to be hosted by England, after the 2010 edition, and the fourth to be hosted in Great Britain. The tournament was expanded to 16 teams, from the previous 12 which participated in the 1991 and 1994 tournaments, and from 2006 to 2021. New Zealand entered the tournament as defending champions following their victory against England in the 2021 Rugby World Cup final. They were eliminated in the semi-finals by Canada, who became the first team to beat them at a World Cup in 11 years.
