Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 has already significantly surpassed the record for most tickets sold in the tournament’s history after over 220,00 were sold to date.
With just over 250 days until the opening match, they have bested the record set by the 2021 event by 50 per cent as the event heads to England.
130,000 tickets were sold during the pre-sale period, with a further 90,000 secured during the most recent application window.
As expected, the hosts have rallied around the Red Roses, with their pool match against the Wallaroos in Brighton reported as one of the most on-demand fixtures.
“The response to Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 has been remarkable. England has a proud rugby heritage and a huge appetite for women’s sport, and this has been reflected in the demand for tickets so early on,” Sarah Massey, Managing Director of Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, said.
“Breaking records for ticket sales is just the beginning – we’re building towards a tournament that promises to be inclusive, entertaining, and unmissable for fans and players alike.
“We can’t wait to welcome the world to England next year to celebrate the pinnacle of women’s rugby in front of unprecedented crowds and create unforgettable memories together.”
Further tickets will be available for purchase in the next ticketing window, starting from February 25.
The tournament will kick off on September 22 as England take on the USA in Sunderland.
The Wallaroos will commence their fixtures the following day against Samoa in Manchester before facing the Americans in York.
Jo Yapp’s side will confirm their 2025 Test schedule in the coming days as they begin their build to the expanded event.
