Betting on women's rugby

In terms of rules, women's rugby is pretty much identical to men's rugby. But to give women extra protection, female rugby players wear specific shoulder pads designed to protect sensitive areas, such as the chest and shoulders.

More and more nations are fielding a roster with only female players with professional contracts, which contributes to improving the quality of play on the field.

Apart from the Women's Six Nations Tournament, other top nations outside Europe meet in international friendlies in between competitions. Make sports bets with bwin.

Betting on the Women's Rugby World Cup

From 2025, the women's rugby world cup will be, once again, played with 16 nations. A large majority of the best teams from the previous edition have automatic qualification for the next edition.

The remaining tickets are distributed according to the results in the women's Six Nations tournament and the winners of the tournament in Oceania, Africa and Asia. Finally, a repechage tournament is organized to complete the number of participating nations. In the end, five continents are represented, with the majority of participants originating from Europe and Oceania.

Since the creation of the competition, four nations have participated in all editions: England, Canada, the United States and France. The New Zealand women's national team is the undisputed world leader. The Blacks Ferns are the automatic reference selection in women's international rugby, as are the All-Blacks in men's rugby world cup betting.

Recommended betting on the women's rugby world cup

A team that scores four or more tries wins a bonus point, as does a team that loses by less than eight points. Thus, we recommend placing handicap bets where a nation must win the match by a certain point spread.

Being a sport with a large number of points scored during the match, draws are quite rare. Another recommendation is to bet on the winner of the match.
