What is WXV 3 Rugby?
The WXV 3 is one of the newest international women’s rugby tournaments in the world. Designed to enhance competition for lower-ranked nations, it is the third tier of the elite WXV competition.
The WXV 3 tournament is contested by six teams. Two spots are given to the winner and the runner-up of the Oceania Women’s Championship, while the third and fourth are secured by the second-placed teams in the African and Asian championships.
The remaining two places are decided via play-offs. The first is a promotion/relegation match between the sixth-placed team in the previous tournament and the highest-ranked non-participating team. The last spot goes to the loser of the match between the sixth-placed Six Nations side and the winner of the European Championship.
