Women's Rugby World Cup started on 1991 and is hosted by different European countries held every four years. Since 1998, New Zealand has been the champion of the tournament-the last three against England and one against USA.

The Women's Rugby World Cup will be held on August 1 to 17 with France as the host country. In the five match days, fifteen matches will be broadcasted in the French Capital together with the six matches from Stade Jean Bouin, which will host the final. The qualified teams include: Africa, United Stated of America, Canada, Kazakhstan, England, France, Ireland, Spain, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and Samoa.

The peak of the tournament will be held at the Federation Francaise de Rugby (FFR) headquarters in Marcoussis, nea r Paris, before moving to the Stade Jean Bouin for the semi-finals and finals. The 12 teams will meet on August 1, 5, and 9 during the pool stages; August 13 for the semi-finals; and lastly August 17 for the finals.

The sporting event's main goal is to showcase and to empower the boost in the Women's Game. "Women's Rugby World Cup 2010 in England was a Game changer that put women's Rugby on the global sporting map and I have no doubt that this year's event in France will raise the bar even higher with a strong broadcast platform and attractive ticketing programme providing the stage for what promises to be a highly-competitive event." The Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chairman Bernard Lapasset mentioned.

With this being said, each of the participating countries will also provide referees for the Women's Rugby World Cup to officiate the tournament. Elite official meetings and training camps were help as to prepare the referees for this year's WRWC.
