HSBC named retail bank of Women’s RWC 2025
The new partnership builds on HSBC’s 14-year legacy of supporting World Rugby events and initiatives, including its role as title partner of HSBC SVNS and its core ambition to drive the growth of women’s sport globally.
HSBC’s support for women’s rugby has focussed on raising the visibility of the women’s game and empowering the next generation of athletes.
Alongside World Rugby, HSBC has helped over 500,000 young people pick up a rugby ball through grassroots programmes. HSBC will also create opportunities around the Rugby World Cup for people to build their financial health, including activities for young fans and tailored financial wellbeing sessions for players.
It has already been confirmed as the biggest women’s rugby event ever with 300,000 tickets sold to date, doubling the attendance from the previous edition in New Zealand.
Alan Gilpin, World Rugby Chief Executive, said, “We are delighted to have HSBC as the Official Retail Bank of Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025. Their long-term commitment to the growth of the sport, and particularly women’s rugby, continues to be transformational.
“This partnership is a testament to HSBC’s support in providing opportunities for aspiring players and inspiring new generations of fans around the world and is another strong endorsement of a tournament that will be the biggest and best yet.”
