"VAN" (Sports Desk - 23.10.2024) :: World Rugby has announced the match schedule for Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, setting the stage for six weekends of compelling competition in what promises to be the largest celebration of women’s rugby.
A spectacular opening weekend will see hosts England face USA at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on Friday, 22 August, 2025, while reigning champions New Zealand will begin their title defence against Spain at York Community Stadium on Sunday, 24 August.
Brazil, who became the first team from South America to qualify for a Women’s Rugby World Cup earlier this year, will make their tournament debut against South Africa at Franklin’s Gardens in Northampton on Sunday, 24 August.
The match schedule has been developed with team and fan experience at heart, with exciting match-ups in each of the eight host locations, family friendly kick-off times and optimised team travel.
