World Cup winners return to grassroots

FRESH from their Women's Rugby World Cup final win, the Red Roses will be stepping off the international stage and into grassroots clubs across England as part of RugbyFest (October 3-6, 2025), a nationwide celebration of rugby designed to inspire the next generation. Over the course of the weekend, hundreds of rugby clubs will open their doors, hosting taster sessions, family fun days, and mini festivals.

With the squad visiting clubs up and down the country to meet young players and share their own stories, the events promise to bring the magic of the World Cup back to communities across the country.

RugbyFest will be a celebration of rugby in England after the conclusion of the record breaking Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 and a home-turf victory. The weekend is designed to encourage new players, supporters and volunteers to get involved in the sport. Central to this effort is FindRugby.com, where young fans, parents and future players can find out about local opportunities to get involved.
