Women's Rugby World Cup
The Women's Rugby World Cup is the premier international competition in Rugby union for women. The tournament is organised by the sports governing body the International Rugby Board (IRB). The first World Cup was held in 1991 and hosted by Wales, sadly fiscal reality and bad timing combined to take much shine off of the event. Many teams involved could not easily afford to participate, and the second men’s World Cup was being held, thus diverting much attention from the women’s game.
