The 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup will be the tenth edition of the women's Rugby World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for national rugby union teams, organised by World Rugby. It is scheduled to take place in England between 22 August and 27 September 2025. The opening game will take place at the Stadium of Light with the final scheduled to be held at Twickenham Stadium.
It will be the second women's Rugby Union World Cup to be hosted by England, after the 2010 edition. It will be the fifth hosted in the British Isles.
The tournament will be expanded to 16 teams, from the previous 12 which participated from 1991 to 1994, and from 2006 to 2021.
It will be the first tournament to be rebranded as the Women's Rugby World Cup since 2021, a change that was announced in October 2023.
New Zealand enter the tournament as defending champions following their victory against England in the 2021 Rugby World Cup Final.
