How to get Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 tickets
The Red Roses are getting ready to tackle their biggest challenge yet – make sure you're there to support them.
It's history in the making: the 10th Women's Rugby World Cup is coming to home soil in 2025, and England are favourites to lay their hands on the trophy.
The Red Roses have gone undefeated since losing out the last World Cup final in 2021, so will it be repeat or revenge this time around?
Marlie Packer's squad is getting ready to face 15 other nations in next year's tournament – four more than last time – including reigning champions the New Zealand Black Ferns.
The competition will take place from August to September next year across 32 matches, with the final taking place at the iconic Twickenham Stadium (or Allianz if you prefer).
In an interview with the Yorkshire Post, ex-England player Maggie Alphonsi said the tournament could be the Red Roses' "Lionesses moment".
She said: "Ideally, we want to try and replicate what the Lionesses did in 2022, grip a nation and then play a final at a big iconic stadium and sell it out like they did at Wembley."
Well, thankfully the stats are already looking strong, as the pre-sale period saw a record-breaking 130,000 tickets sold, with the final already over 50% booked. The ballot for the general sale is currently open, so if you don't want miss out on your spot, you'll need to get going.
Below, we've put together a full guide on the World Cup, including dates, venues, fixtures and, most importantly, how to get tickets. You’ll want to prop-ose to us by the time you read all of this, so here’s everything you need to know.
