Aside from the smooth running of the global sporting spectacle, the Rugby Football Union for Women organizing body and tournament owners Rugby World Cup Limited are working hard to deliver a Rugby World Cup that will offer a winning blend of international class facilities for teams and travelling supporters, while ensuring the perfect platform for the promotion and development of women's rugby.
The sixth Women’s Rugby World Cup, which will be played from August 20 - September 5, has already attracted significant interest and tickets for the tournament will go on sale to the general public on Monday, March 22 via Ticketmaster.
Host Broadcaster SKY Sports will provide the platform for the exciting action to reach out to over 120 countries worldwide, ensuring that the 2010 tournament will be watched by more people than any other Women's Rugby World Cup.
Philippe Bourdarias, the Women's Rugby World Cup tournament director, believes that a strong partnership between the RFUW and RWCL and excellent support from key stakeholders have been pivotal to the progress to date.
“RWCL is extremely confident that, as we reach this landmark, planning and preparation is on track and ahead of previous Women's Rugby World Cups,” he said.
The USA will compete in Pool B alongside England, Ireland and Kazakhstan and will have the honor of playing the first game against Kazakhstan.
