Just over 60,000 tickets were available in the presale for the first, bronze, and final matches of the RWC, set to be the biggest yet in the women’s game.
Taking place across eight venues in England, RWC 2025 will feature an expanded format of 16 teams, ten of which have already qualified with the final six places to be awarded at the upcoming WXV competition.

World Rugby hope to achieve a record-breaking attendance at the final, which will be held at Twickenham Stadium on 27 September 2025.
All available tickets for the bronze and final matches sold during the presale, but fans will have the opportunity to purchase a limited number of tickets for the final and for all other matches through an open application process in November.
Less than 5,000 tickets for the opening match which will feature hosts England at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on 22 August are still available in the presale, and will be sold on a first come, first served basis here until 10:00 (BST GMT+1) on Tuesday, 8 October, 2024.
The full match schedule and kick-off times will be announced in October following the draw, which will be made after WXV.

Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Managing Director, Sarah Massey, said: “It has been fantastic to see the huge demand for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 opening match and finals, further demonstrating the unstoppable momentum of women’s sport and huge excitement for a tournament that will be the biggest ever celebration of women’s rugby.
“We know fans have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to secure their tickets to what will be an unmissable tournament next year and with tickets still available for the opening match in Sunderland featuring the Red Roses, we urge everyone to secure their tickets early and be part of this era-defining moment for the sport.”
After waiting in a queue to buy tickets for the final I found there was no information as to where £95 or £65 seats are situated in the ground and even the £65 seats had children’s prices at £30 !!! I was unable to select seats as apparently they were to be allocated next year. Without knowing where we would be sitting, whether high or low and whether in the corner or behind the goal posts, my family decided not to fork out a large amount of money. So that is seven tickets not sold because of not being able to buy allocated seats immediately. I am obviously not clever enough to understand why.
You're right, I went to book on and notice there was information about seating only categories, £95 was for Cat A, the prestige seating and then B and C, I could only guess where they would be. At 10am there were adult seats priced at £30. None of this of course helps your situation and that of your family's but I do hope you manage to get tickets later, or have the opportunity to visit other venues
