The excitement is palpable as the countdown begins for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, set to be the most spectacular celebration of women’s rugby yet.
Fans, mark your calendars, because the first tickets for the Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 will go on sale this September.
Here’s everything you need to know about snagging those coveted seats and planning your rugby experience.
The Most Accessible Women’s Rugby World Cup Ever
In a groundbreaking move, more than 400,000 tickets will be available for this 10th edition of the tournament.
The event kicks off on 22 August at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland and promises to be the most accessible and grandiose Women’s Rugby World Cup to date.
England 2025 will feature double the ticket availability compared to the RWC 2021 in New Zealand, ensuring fans from all walks of life can partake in the festivities.
Over six weekends, from 22 August to 27 September, the world’s top 16 teams will compete across eight venues spread throughout England.
The grand finale will be held at Twickenham Stadium in London, the world’s largest dedicated rugby union venue.
In line with World Rugby’s mission to broaden the sport’s appeal, the tournament aims to be a family-friendly affair.
A family of four can watch the Red Roses in their opening match for as little as £30. With ticket prices ranging from £5 to £95, over 60% of tickets are priced under £25, and there are children’s prices available for every match, including the knockout phases.
Unprecedented Demand Expected
Given the growing popularity of women’s rugby, the demand for tickets, especially for the opening match and the final, is expected to be immense.
England set a world record crowd of 58,498 at Twickenham Stadium when they secured the Women’s Six Nations 2023 Grand Slam against France. This record is likely to be shattered during the 2025 tournament.
Fans eager to secure their spot can register for free online to enter the presale on 24 September.
This ensures a chance to be among the first to grab tickets for the opening match and the much-anticipated final at Twickenham Stadium.
The grand finale on 27 September 2025, includes entry to both the bronze final and the final match.
Exclusive Pre-Sale Opportunities
For those with a Mastercard, the tournament’s Worldwide Partner offers a priority sale on 17 September 2024.
All price categories for the two critical match days will be available through the official Women’s RWC 2025 ticketing website.
