The Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 is set to make a return to England later this month, with Twickenham Stadium confirmed as the host for the highly anticipated final and bronze-medal match.

This marks the first time the tournament has been held in England since 2010 and promises to be one of the standout sporting events of the year.

The Red Roses, who are coming off a Six Nations Grand Slam victory, enter the tournament as favourites and will enjoy the advantage of playing on home soil as they seek to end their nine-year wait for a world title.

The opening ceremony and first match, England vs the United States, will kick things off on 22 August at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, while both semi-finals will be hosted at Ashton Gate in Bristol on 19 and 20 September.

The tournament will be played at eight stadiums across England, including:

  • Twickenham Stadium, London (Finals)
  • Sandy Park, Exeter
  • Stadium of Light, Sunderland
  • Franklin's Gardens, Northampton
  • American Express Stadium, Brighton
  • Ashton Gate, Bristol
  • Salford Community Stadium, Manchester
  • LNER Community Stadium, York

With ticket sales already surpassing the previous tournament's total, demand remains high.

However, general admission tickets are still available, starting at £10 for adults and £5 for children, via the official Rugby World Cup website.

Hospitality packages are available for some fixtures, although most premium options are now sold out.

An official resale platform, powered by Ticketmaster, is live, allowing fans a second chance at accessing sold-out games.

The pool stage will run from 22 August to 7 September, followed by quarter-finals on 13 and 14 September, and semi-finals on 19 and 20 September, culminating in the final and bronze match double-header at Twickenham on 27 September.
