The Women's Six Nations Championship has officially kicked off, and while the excitement of Rugby World Cup 2025 may be behind us, its impact is far from over. Beyond the silverware and the statistics, RWC 2025 left us something even greater…
1. A lasting legacy, beyond the trophy
Rugby has always been more than just tackles and tries - it’s about community too. The Rugby World Cup reminded us of that in every stadium, every fan zone, and every muddy grassroots pitch inspired by what they saw on the world stage.
As well as inspiring the next generation to pick up a rugby ball for the first time, it also reignited a passion for the sport that many had forgotten about.
2. A tournament of firsts
RWC 2025 will be remembered as a turning point:
· 16 teams took part in the tournament, that’s more than ever before.
· Over 400,000 tickets were sold across 72 countries, three times as many than the previous Women’s Rugby World Cup.
· We saw record-breaking attendances and unforgettable underdog victories (we’re talking Wales v Fiji).
Ultimately, it showcased the global growth of the game where every match felt like a reminder that the future of rugby is brighter, faster, and more inclusive than ever before.
3. Keeping the spirit alive
Just because the final whistle has blown doesn’t mean the journey ends. For players and fans alike, the Rugby World Cup is a starting point.
The growth of women’s rugby fanbase will create a shift toward professionalism, visibility, and commercial opportunity within the game. Competitions like the Six Nations will not only provide high-performance environments for elite players, they create a space for fans to consume the sport regularly outside of major tournaments.
That’s why our official RWC 2025 balls still matter too. They’re not just souvenirs - they’re symbols of a shared moment in rugby history and act as a reminder of what this sport means to us all!
