Women’s Rugby World Cup Competition Format

The Women’s Rugby World Cup sees teams from various nations battling it out in a structured competition format. While details may slightly vary depending on the host nation and organisational decisions, the general format remains consistent:

The tournament typically features 12 national teams (though this number may expand in the future as the tournament grows). These teams are divided into three pools, with four teams in each pool.

Points System

Teams earn points during the pool stages based on their match performance:

  • 4 points for a win
  • 2 points for a draw
  • 0 points for a loss
  • Bonus Points - 1 point for scoring 4 or more tries in a match
  • Bonus Points - 1 point for losing by 7 points or fewer

The points system ensures that every game matters and encourages attacking, exciting rugby.

Knockout Stages

After the pool stage, the tournament enters the knockout stages. Teams that finish at the top of their pool and the best runner-up advance to the semi-finals. From here, it’s do-or-die rugby, as teams compete in single-elimination matches to reach the final.

For teams that don't make the semi-finals, classification matches are played, ensuring every team has multiple opportunities to prove themselves and gain experience at the highest level.
