The Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 is shaping up to be the biggest celebration of women’s rugby in history, with a record-breaking 220,000 tickets sold well before the tournament kicks off. This milestone cements its status as the fastest-selling edition of the tournament to date.
Unprecedented Ticket Demand
During the ticket application window alone, an impressive 90,000 tickets were snapped up by eager fans. This builds on the 130,000 tickets sold during the presale period, showcasing the unparalleled enthusiasm for the event. By comparison, ticket sales have already outstripped those of the 2021 tournament in New Zealand by 50%.
The tournament’s opening match between England and the USA is set to take place on August 22, 2025, at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. With eight cities across England hosting games, the demand has been so extraordinary that ballots are being held for high-demand fixtures, including England’s pool matches and the grand final at Twickenham Stadium.
