The Women’s Rugby World Cup will return to England for the first time since 2010 this month, and tickets are already flying off the shelves.

The Red Roses come into the tournament as favourites after clinching the Six Nations Grand Slam earlier this year.

They will have the benefit of playing on home turf as they look to end a nine-year wait to be crowned world champions.

Matches will be hosted at eight stadiums up and down the country. The opening ceremony, where England meet the United States on August 22, will be staged at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, while the final will be held at Twickenham Stadium. Both semi-finals will be played at Bristol’s Ashton Gate.

The tournament, mooted by tournament organisers as England’s sporting event of the year, has received colossal demand for tickets, with sales figures for the previous edition of the tournament eclipsed by February of this year.

Here’s all you need to know about how you can witness the action first hand...

General admission prices start at £10 for adults and £5 for children.

Hospitality packages vary by venue, tier, and round, but can be worth anywhere from £95 to £425 per person.
