Women’s Rugby Tackles Bristol

Bristol is set to take centre stage this September as the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 lands at Ashton Gate Stadium, the South West’s leading sports and events venue. As the premier knockout venue for the tournament, Ashton Gate will host two quarter-finals on 13 and 14 September, followed by both semi-finals on 19 and 20 September, showcasing the world’s top teams battling for a place in the final at Twickenham.

With its reputation for sell-out crowds and electric atmosphere, Ashton Gate is no stranger to hosting major sporting moments. The stadium has previously set records for attendance at women’s rugby matches outside Twickenham and regularly draws passionate fans for both Bristol City and Bristol Bears. Now, it’s gearing up for one of the biggest events in women’s sport, welcoming elite teams like England, New Zealand, France, Canada, and Australia.

To celebrate, Bristol will also host a vibrant Fan Zone at the Amphitheatre on the Harbourside, running across both match weekends. Expect live screenings, street food, music, and family-friendly activities, all designed to bring the tournament atmosphere into the heart of the city. Organisers anticipate around 100,000 visitors, making it a true city-wide celebration of sport and community.

Whether you’re a lifelong rugby fan or just soaking up the buzz, Bristol’s role in the Women’s Rugby World Cup promises unforgettable moments both on and off the pitch. Tickets are still available via the official Rugby World Cup site, so don’t miss your chance to witness history in the making!
