Across six weekends from August 22 to September 27, 2025, fans will have the chance to watch the world’s 16 best teams, including recent qualifiers Ireland, compete at eight locations, culminating in a grand finale at the world’s largest dedicated rugby union venue, Twickenham Stadium in London.

With 95% of the population within two hours’ travel time to a venue, there are more opportunities than ever before for fans to attend from across the host nation.
The demand and growth of Women’s rugby has been evident in recent years, with England achieving a world record crowd of 58,498 at Twickenham when they beat France to secure the 2023 Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam, and the record is expected to be broken at England 2025 next year.
