Women's Rugby World Cup 2017 Pool Draw

The 8th edition of the Women's Rugby World Cup will see 12 teams going head-to-head in three pools to claim the 2017 title. The competition will be hosted in Ireland from August 9 - 26, 2017.

Next year's competition takes place 3 years after the last Women's Rugby World Cup as World Rugby has had to dodge the chances of it clashing with other events. As women's rugby continues to grow, the governing body assures that the event will return to a four-year cycle after 2017. 

The previous World Cup in 2014 was won by England after beating Canada 21-9 at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris, claiming their second title in the competition.
