The 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup was the eighth edition of the Women's Rugby World Cup and was held in Ireland in August 2017. New Zealand became the 2017 champions by beating England 41–32 in the final, held on 26 August. Matches were held in Dublin and Belfast.[1] The pool stages were held at University College Dublin with the semi finals and finals held at Queen's University and Kingspan Stadium in Belfast.[2]


The tournament took place three rather than four years after the previous Women's Rugby World Cup because World Rugby wanted to move away from clashing with other events.[3] The event will return to a four-year cycle after 2017.[4]


The 2017 tournament set attendance records for a Women's World Cup. The tournament drew 45,412 fans over 30 matches. The final was played in front of a crowd of 17,115, and the pool matches sold out.

Pool stage


The pool draw took place on 9 November 2016 at Belfast.[10]


Each pool was a single round-robin of six games, in which each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same pool. Teams were awarded four points for a win, two points for a draw, one point for a loss by one to seven points, and none for a defeat by more than seven points. A team scoring four or more tries in one match scored a bonus point.


The tournament comprised 12 teams in three pools of four with the pool winners plus the best runner-up progressing to the semi-finals.[11]


All times are local, Western European Summer Time (UTC+1).[12]
