A NEW era for women’s rugby in England
On 1 July 2023 Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) was launched replacing the previous Premier 15s, managing the Premiership Women’s Rugby club competition.
Premiership Women's Rugby was established to deliver a ten-year strategy for women’s rugby in England. As part of that strategy a new, nine-team, Premiership Women's Rugby league was launched as a partnership with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and the clubs.
