The qualification process for the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England began during the knockout stage of the 2021 tournament in New Zealand, at which the four teams that reached the semi-finals qualified automatically for the 2025 event. A further six teams will qualify as winners of six regional tournaments in 2024. The final six spots will go to the highest-finishing WXV teams who have not yet qualified.[1]
Following the previous World Cup, four teams received an automatic qualification berth - these berths being given to the top 4 teams (New Zealand, England, France, and Canada). England also automatically qualified as host. The remaining 12 berths for the tournament will be awarded to the winners of four regional tournaments, the highest finishing not automatic qualifying teams in the 2024 Women's Six Nations and 2024 Pacific Four and the six highest finishing 2024 WXV teams who have not yet qualified.[1][2][3]
