The expansion of the competition from eight rounds to ten provides vital preparation for Irish, Scottish, and Welsh players ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025.

This year’s Six Nations campaign will see Wales women play their first-ever standalone fixture at the Principality Stadium when they face Italy on the final weekend (27th April).
