Women’s Rugby – The Proof Is in the Numbers

The Women’s RWC 2025 will be the largest celebration of women’s rugby ever with more than 220,000 tickets sold to date.

With just over eight months to go until the opening match between England and the USA at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on 22 August, the continued strong interest in Women’s RWC 2025 has led to ballots for high-demand fixtures, including England’s pool matches and the final at Twickenham Stadium.

The surge in demand ensures that the largest sports event in the UK next year, hosted across eight cities in England, will also be the biggest and best Women’s Rugby World Cup in history.

Fans from across the globe are eager to join the excitement, with applications received from 72 countries. Notably, there has been an equal balance of men and women purchasing tickets, setting the stage for the most inclusive and widely celebrated Women’s Rugby World Cup in history.

Sarah Massey, Managing Director of Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, shared her excitement about the historic ticket sales: “The response to Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 has been remarkable. England has a proud rugby heritage and a huge appetite for women’s sport, and this has been reflected in the demand for tickets so early on.

“Breaking records for ticket sales is just the beginning – we’re building towards a tournament that promises to be inclusive, entertaining, and unmissable for fans and players alike.

“We can’t wait to welcome the world to England next year to celebrate the pinnacle of women’s rugby in front of unprecedented crowds and create unforgettable memories together.”

There will be a further chance for fans to secure tickets when the next ticket phase opens from 11:00 GMT on Tuesday, 25 February. To be the first to hear the latest ticketing news, fans can register for updates at rugbyworldcup.com/2025/newsletter.

Fans can also now elevate their Women’s RWC 2025 tournament with a ticket-inclusive premium experience package. All experience packages include an official match ticket and are available now for every match via experiences.rugbyworldcup.com. Prices start from £240 (including VAT) per person.

With such exceptional demand for tickets and to avoid disappointment, fans are urged to secure their tickets through the official channels at tickets.rugbyworldcup.com or experiences.rugbyworldcup.com. Tickets bought via unofficial sources and reselling platforms will not guarantee access to the match venues.

England 2025 will be the first Rugby World Cup hosted under a new joint-venture model (Local Operating Company) between World Rugby and the RFU, with funding from the UK Government, which will aim to optimise efficiency and impact across the tournament.
