By Imogen Ainsworth
Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 ticket sales have reached 55,000 tickets after the Mastercard priority sale and presale.
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.”

Hopefully Joe stays where he is. That would mean Les, McKellar, larkham and Cron should as well. It’s the stability we need in the state programs. But, if Joe goes, RA with its current financial situation will be forced into promoting from within. And this will likely destabilise other areas.
To better understand some of the entrenched bitterness of those outside of NZ and NSW (as an example 😂), Nic, there is probably a comparison to the old hard heads of welsh rugby who are still stuck in the 1970s. Before the days where clubs merged, professionalism started, and the many sharp knives were put into the backs of those who loved the game more than everyone else. I’m sure you know a few... But given your comparison of rugby in both wales and Australia, there are a few north of the tweed that will never trust a kiwi or NSWelshman because of historical events and issues over the history of the game. It is what it is. For some, time does not heal all wounds. And it is still festering away in some people. Happy holidays to you. All the best in 2025.
