The 2025 Women’s Six Nations schedule has been set, including a matchup in the much anticipated tenth Women’s Rugby World Cup in August.
Before England hosts the Rugby World Cup 2025 in the summer, the Guinness Six Nations marks the beginning of an important year for women’s rugby.
The competition will be many players’ final chance to be selected for the Rugby World Cup squads.
Scotland and Wales will face off in the World Cup pool stage. As a result, the Six Nations match plot might be focused with an eye to the future.
On Saturday, March 22nd, Scotland will kick off their 2025 Women’s Six Nations campaign at Hive Stadium in Edinburgh against Wales at 4:45 p.m.
A week later, on March 29, the Scots will play France in La Rochelle (1 pm kickoff). Sunday, April 13, Italy will return to Hive Stadium (3 pm kickoff), followed by champions England on Saturday, April 19, at Welford Road in Leicester (4:45 pm kickoff), and Ireland on Saturday, April 26 at Hive Stadium (12.15 pm).
The Scottish team will take confidence from their 40-14 victory over the same opponents at the same location in last weekend’s Vodafone Series match as they prepare for their championship opener.
Before departing for South Africa at the end of the month to defend their WXV2 title, Bryan Easson’s team will play their first game this weekend against Fiji at Hive Stadium.
York Community Stadium, one of the World Cup sites, will host England’s 2025 Women’s Six Nations championship defense versus Italy.
England, the defending champions, will play Italy in York to begin their Six Nations campaign. The Red Roses won their third straight grand slam and sixth consecutive Six Nations championship in April after defeating France in Bordeaux.
