Go To Pools HomeWomen's Rugby World Cup Format
The 2025 Rugby World Cup features a new format. With the exception of 1998 and 2002, previous editions of the tournament have been contested by 12 teams. From 2025 onwards, 16 teams will compete to win the sport’s ultimate accolade. These teams will be divided into four pools of four nations.
During the pool stage, each team will play their pool opponents once. The top two nations from each pool will advance to the quarter-finals. The winners of these four quarter-final matches will continue to the semi-finals. The two semi-final winners will progress to the final, while the two semi-final losers will compete in the bronze final.
