Over the past few years, the Women’s Rugby World Cup, or WRWC, has become just as big a deal as the men’s – and, in 2025, the trophy will be held in England, home to some of the best-loved rugby talent in both women’s and men’s versions of the game.

The 2025 tournament will be opening for fans to enjoy as of August 22nd, running all the way to September 27th – it’s going to be a smorgasbord of scrums and tries that will extend over a whole month!

And, given there’s less than a month for you to start getting your tickets to the main games, we thought it would also be a good idea to share why getting an eSIM to cover your trip to England is also worth doing in advance. Let’s, however, first of all learn a bit more about the Women’s Rugby World Cup, and why you might want to travel to Blighty for this year’s tournament!

What is the Women’s Rugby World Cup?

As the name suggests, the Women’s Rugby World Cup is a global tournament that pits female rugby talent against each other from all corners of the globe. In fact, there will be 16 top teams duking it out to scrum down and score big points on the main stage this time around.

Of this 16, in 2025, you can expect Australia, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, USA, Canada, Fiji, Italy, France, Wales, Brazil, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Scotland, Samoa, and – of course – England – to lock horns in a chance to win the trophy.

As to who’s going to come away with the spoils – who knows? New Zealand is a firm favourite simply because they’re champions already – and yet, England, of course, has the home advantage, plus they came runners-up in the last tournament.

That said, other sources claim France, Ireland, and even Canada – the latter of whom’s team is a serious underdog with a chance – could beat the above to the punch.

Regardless, rugby is always a fantastic spectacle – with many people preferring it to soccer thanks to the variety in play and the wide range of talents each of the players need to possess. It truly is a sport that demands some incredible strength and fitness.

Why Travel to England in 2025?

England, sadly, has a bit of a reputation for being wet and dreary – plus, not everyone’s a big fan of the cuisine! However, you can at least enjoy some surprise sunshine this time around – the UK generally has been experiencing an incredible run of heatwaves over the summer, and given that the WRWC takes place at the very end of the summer, now might be your last chance to experience England at its sunniest for quite some time!

England’s WRWC is also going to be an absolute first for the tournament in that it’s the maiden voyage of a multi-city format. That means you’ll be able to take in the action across eight different cities, each with the honour of hosting some of the most important games in the cup. 

That means if you’re tired of touring London alone every time you head out here, you have a great excuse to go up and down the country.

The WRWC will, in 2025, be held in London (of course), Exeter, Bristol, Brighton and Hove, Sunderland, York, Manchester, and Northampton. That’s a real mix of north and south, meaning it’s a great opportunity to explore and enjoy some of England’s diverse culture.

You might not be able to hop across all eight cities – but given the action takes place across almost a month, you can still plan a travel itinerary of sorts to cover as much ground as possible!

Download an eSIM to Make the Most of Your Trip

The last thing you’ll want to do when travelling to England to enjoy the sport is to wander around looking for a SIM card that’ll give you access to mobile data. For a start, you’ll need to think about finding the best network for your budget, and have to set up an account, and compare network strengths and speeds…

It’s all a bit of a faff, as they say in England! With an eSIM, however, you’re ready to go with a range of mobile networks at your fingertips and you won’t have to fumble around with plastic cards.

SIMOVO’s unlimited UK eSIMs give you up to two weeks of mobile data at a rate of 2GB usage per day. You’ll have access to the best possible high-speed data and reliable connectivity via Three, with up to 5G available.

That means you’ll be able to tour up and down the country, following the rugby, and you can buy and activate in a matter of seconds.

You’ll be able to capture your favourite moments from the rugby action via social media and stay in touch with all your friends and family without having to hunt around for public WiFi. SIMOVO’s eSIMs encrypt your data and give you complete security peace of mind – unlike with public hotspots, you won’t have to spend your holiday looking over your shoulder for hackers.

What’s more, your eSIM is pay-as-you-go – meaning there won’t be any nasty bills waiting for you when you get back from all the rugby action.
