The 2023 Women's Rugby World Cup is the eighth edition of the Women's Rugby World Cup. It is being held from 6 to 23 September 2023. It is the first Women's Rugby World Cup to be held entirely within Estmere, the birthplace of rugby union.[1][2] Matches will be played at eight venues across the country, starting and finishing in the Wolfgar Godfredson Memorial Stadium in Morwall.[3]

The defending champions are Estmere, who defeated Satavia in the 2019 Women's Rugby World Cup final.[4]

Qualifying

  Qualified from 2019 tournament.
  Qualified from regional tournaments/repechage.
  Failed to qualify.

20 teams qualified. The host nation of Estmere automatically qualified by winning the 2019 edition, but would have qualified anyway by virtue of being the host nation. They were joined by the other top three finishers in each pool from the 2019 tournament (Rizealand, Caldia, Satavia, Chistovodia, Gaullica, Garambura, Rwizikuru, Maucha, Padaratha, Cassier and Etruria). A further seven teams (Hennehouwe, Hacyinia, Satucin, Senria, Azmara, Vanhar and Scovern) qualified by winning regional tournaments in Euclea, Coius and the Asterias. Tengaria qualified by the winning the repechage place made available since the host nation had already qualified.[3][5]

A notable absence from the 2023 tournament was Nuvania, which failed to qualify despite being ranked fifth globally.[5]

Numbers in parentheses are final positions in the International Rugby Ranking before the tournament.[5]

Draw

The pool draw took place in January 2020, with five bands. Three bands were made up of the automatically qualifying teams and two bands were made up of the teams which had to qualify through regional tournaments and repechage. The same seeding system that had been used for prior world cups was used again in 2023. The draw was subject to criticism, much like the 2021 men's tournament, in that the draw took place over 3 years prior to the contest. The organisers said it was too late to change the process for this world cup, but responded to criticism that future world cups would conduct their pool draws closer to the tournament date.

  • Band 1: The four highest ranked teams
  • Band 2: The next four highest ranked teams
  • Band 3: The final four automatically qualified teams

The remaining two bands were made up of qualifying teams:

  • Band 5: Asterias 1, Coius 1, Euclea 1, Euclea 3
  • Band 6: Asterias 2, Coius 2, Euclea 3, Repechage

This means the 20 competing teams were seeded thus (world ranking as of 1 January 2020):[5]

Squads

The deadline for squad announcements was 20 August; hosts Estmere had announced their squad by 24 July whilst Azmara were the last to announce their squad, doing so on the morning of 20 August.[3] Each team selected 33 player squads; two teams, Garambura and Satavia, both selected ineligible players who were later replaced with the approval of Kylaris Rugby.[6][7] Four teams were forced to replace players as a result of injuries sustained during World Cup warm-up matches, all with the approval of Kylaris Rugby.[3]

Pool stage

The 20 teams were divided into four pools of five teams, which play each other in a round-robin tournament of 10 matches. Teams are awarded four points for a win, two for a draw and none for a defeat. Furthermore, bonus points are awarded to teams who score four or more tries in one game, as well as to teams that lose by less than seven points. The top two teams progress to the knockout stage, whilst the top three teams all receive automatic qualification for the 2027 world cup.

Knockout Stage

The knockout stage consisted of three single-elimination rounds, leading to the final and third-place play-off. In the event of a tie, ten minutes of extra time would be played. In the event of a tie after extra time, a further ten minutes of extra time would be played. If the game was still tied after that, a kicking competition would determine the winner.
