Organisers have followed World Rugby’s inclusivity mission by offering a range of ticket options. Ticket prices will range from £5 to £95 across the tournament, with over 60% of tickets under £25 and children’s prices available at every match, including the knockout phase. Accessible tickets will also be available for all matches.
The tournament’s Worldwide Partner Mastercard also offer its cardholders access to a priority sale on September 17, 2024 via the official Women’s RWC 2025 ticketing website.
World Rugby chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: “This announcement marks an exciting milestone for the tournament and one that will enable fans to mark their diaries and make plans with their friends, families and teammates.
“We are pleased that the tournament will not only be the most accessible Women’s Rugby World Cup geographically, but also matched with accessibility of entry price tickets ensuring more fans than ever will be able to attend this generational moment for rugby.”
World record crowd for women’s rugby
Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 will be staged across six weekends from August 22 to September 27.
Six of the eight host locations will hold pool matches over three weekends starting with Sunderland (Stadium of Light), Brighton and Hove (Brighton and Hove Albion Stadium), Exeter (Sandy Park), Manchester (Salford Community Stadium), Northampton (Franklin’s Gardens), and York (York Community Stadium). Exeter and Bristol (Ashton Gate Stadium) will host the quarter-finals on the weekend of September 13, with the latter also hosting both semi-finals on the weekend of September 19.
Organisers said: “The demand and growth of women’s rugby has been evident in recent years, with England achieving a world record crowd of 58,498 at Twickenham Stadium as they beat France to secure the Women’s Six Nations 2023 Grand Slam, and the record is expected to be broken at England 2025 next year.”
