In partnership with key partners and stakeholders, World Rugby has released two landmark publications – the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Impact Report and the Impact Beyond 2025 Global Impact Report, presenting, for the first time, a unified and comprehensive picture of how the tournament has reshaped women’s rugby locally in England and globally across World Rugby’s 134 member unions and six regional associations.
The reports demonstrate how the most successful Women’s Rugby World Cup in history acted as both a catalyst and a platform: igniting unprecedented momentum and delivering tangible benefits to local communities while driving targeted, measurable development programmes around the world. From record-breaking attendance and economic uplift to transformative participation and leadership pathways for women and girls globally, England 2025 was a defining moment for the sport.
