Twickenham has been named among eight venues across England to host the women's 2025 Rugby World Cup.

A mix of rugby and football stadiums will stage matches, with 82,000-seater Twickenham earmarked for the final.

Sandy Park in Exeter, Salford Community Stadium in Manchester and Franklin's Gardens in Northampton are all chosen.

Brighton's Amex Stadium, Sunderland's Stadium of Light, the York Community Stadium and Bristol's dual-purpose Ashton Gate are the football grounds.

The tournament will run from 22 August until 27 September 2025.

Sunderland's Stadium of Light is the second biggest venue behind Twickenham with a capacity of 49,000.

A rugby league stadium. So no wonder it wasn't counted as a rugby ground! ;) (tiaj)

Salford Community Stadium, not in Manchester but in the big city next door.
I wonder if they think rugby fans are incapable in some subtle way.

Technically it is in Greater Manchester. To the people not from the north west, the distinction is difficult to grasp. But then most people from around here think London essentially includes anything from Reading to Dover.

It has an M postcode, and that's good enough for most folk. Poor old Salford struggles for visibility due to the dominance of big brother Manchester next door.

A bit like Westminster, only without the power.
