Ticketmaster partners with Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025

World Rugby has selected Ticketmaster as the ticketing service provider for the England 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup.

Ticketmaster will support the event with its digital ticketing solutions, aiming to make it easier for fans to purchase tickets and enter venues seemlessly throughout the tournament.

For the first time in the competition’s history, England 2025 will span eight host cities, offering fans access to top-level women’s rugby across the country.

Sarah Massey, Managing Director of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, said, “Ticketmaster is playing a key role in World Rugby’s vision to grow the women’s game globally, by making the sport more accessible and more relevant to a wider audience.

“The public response to the tournament’s opening and finals matches presale has been incredible with over 65,000 tickets snapped up in September with more to be announced soon. It is a record for Women’s Rugby World Cup, clearly cementing the event as the must-see sporting event of 2025 in the UK.”

Following the announcement of the match schedule, fans will be able to apply for tickets from 5th November through the Rugby World Cup website.

England 2025 will be the largest Women’s Rugby World Cup to date, featuring 16 teams and hosted in cities including Sunderland, Brighton, Bristol, Exeter, Northampton, Manchester, York, and London. With 95 percent of the country within a two-hour journey of a host city, fans across the nation will have the opportunity to experience the event in person.

England’s campaign will kick off on 22nd August at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, with the bronze final and final set for 27th September at Twickenham Stadium, where organisers are hoping a record-breaking attendance for women’s rugby.

Adam Newsam, Chairman of Ticketmaster Sport, said, “Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 is going to transform the sport, both in the UK and around the world.

“We’re proud to help World Rugby set a new standard for fan experience, bring new audiences into the sport, and inspire the next generation of rugby players.”
