World Rugby unveil Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 medals

With one week to go until the action gets underway at the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup, World Rugby have unveiled the medals that over 100 Premiership Women’s Rugby players will be competing for.

The accolades have been designed to reflect a tournament that is set to break boundaries on and off the pitch as England put the final preparations in place to host the 10th and largest Women’s Rugby World Cup ever staged.

Finalists medals will be awarded to the gold, silver and bronze-winning teams and have been plated with their corresponding metal in Birmingham.

The connections to the host nation do not stop there with the medals framed by a precise and intricate Guilloché pattern, applied by a master goldsmith in England. 

And at their heart sits the distinctive Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 logo which is laser-engraved on a plate made from recycled whistles – a nod to the sport’s traditions and its commitment to sustainability.

But the special mementos are not just limited to the finalists as every one of the 512 players and management from all 16 nations will receive a participation medal to mark their role in this landmark event.

Each of those will be hoping to get their hands on the new Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy which features on the reverse of the new finalists medals.

This will be encircled by the names of all 16 participating teams in a powerful symbol of the global game uniting for this generational moment.

Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Managing Director, Sarah Massey said: “Unveiling the medals’ designs for this landmark tournament is an incredibly proud moment, they embody our bold ambition to deliver an event that will set new standards for women’s sport. 

“For the athletes, who have dedicated the past few years to earning their place on this stage, these honours are far more than silverware; they are lasting symbols of a once-in-a-generation moment for rugby. 

“With teams now arriving in England, the excitement and momentum are building rapidly, and we cannot wait for kick-off in just over a week.”

All 16 teams will have landed on English shores by 15 August, marking the return of 96 PWR players who will be representing nations other than England.

With 330,000 tickets already sold there will be plenty of opportunities to see the stars of the league represent their nations, with nine different countries featuring a player from the PWR.
