The fourth and fifth slots are filled by the winners of the Asia Rugby Women’s Championship and the Rugby Africa Women’s Cup. Finally, the last spot is determined via a play-off between the sixth-placed Six Nations team and the winner of the Rugby European Women’s Championship.
In 2024, WXV 2 will be contested by Australia, Italy, Japan, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.
