Women's Rugby World Cup 2025: England, Wales and Scotland fixtures

England is also host for the tournament, marking the second time that has happened after 2010.

The Red Roses have made it to the final in eight out of the nine previous World Cups, bringing home the trophy twice.

The hosts are expected to go far in the tournament, and will be aiming to avenge their losses to New Zealand in the past two finals.
