Here are the host stadiums for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 in England

Women’s Rugby World Cup host cities have been confirmed for the 2025 event being hosted in England.

The Red Roses will be hoping to win the competition after their heartbreak in the past few tournaments. In the 2017 Rugby World Cup they faced New Zealand in the final and lost.

 

In 2021 they faced the same opposition and with New Zealand hosting. The final was a close battle with England having the opportunity to win the game at the death at Eden Park. However, New Zealand disrupted the play to retain their crown.

This time England will look to win the trophy they claimed in 2014. But where will the games be played? Here’s all you need to know.

Women’s Rugby World Cup host cities: Where are the games being played?

The pool stage will see all teams travelling the country, allowing all fans the opportunity to watch some games.

Brighton and Hove Albion Stadium, Ashton Gate, Sandy Park, Salford Community Stadium, Franklins Gardens, Stadium of Light and York Community Stadium will all be in use.

For the quarter-finals Ashton Gate and Sandy Park will share the hosting duties.

The semi-finals will both take place at Ashton Gate with the final’s destination being Twickenham Stadium, now called Allianz Stadium. The Rugby Football Union have been clear about it’s desire to sell-out the home of English rugby for that match. It is thought this will be the case with 220,000 tickets sold for the tournament so far.

Twickenham has not sold-out for a women’s game before but it does hold the world record for the biggest crowd for a women’s rugby game. That was set in 2023 when England played France in a winner-takes-all Grand Slam match. 58,498 fans looked on as the Red Roses beat France that day.

When will tickets go on sale?

Tickets have already gone on sale with pre-sale and general sale clocking 220,000 tickets sold. Fans who applied have until 16 December to pay for their allocated tickets from the ballot. After that tickets will be on sale again for supporters who want to go.

They are priced from £5-£95. 60% of all the tickets are £25 or lower.
