The home field rests in the hands of England’s national team, who, as it stands, is heavily favored to win the crown.
The tournament will see many storylines commence entering the World Cup. For one, the competition will expand from 12 to 16 teams for the first time in 2025, in an effort to boost engagement from fans. Rugby Football Union’s CFO Sue Day stated in regards to the format and England’s inclusion will “create a lasting legacy for women’s rugby,” enticing young female athletes of tomorrow to enter sports.
