The 2024 WXV will be the second edition of WXV, a women's international rugby union group tournament for senior national teams organised by World Rugby. It will take place between 27 September and 13 October 2024. The competition will feature three divisions of six nations each. Participating teams were determined by regional competitions and play-in/play-off matches.
Canada will host the first-division WXV 1, South Africa will host the second-division WXV 2, and the United Arab Emirates will host the third-division WXV 3.[1][2]
Format[edit]
The competition will use a group tournament featuring a league system of three divisions with six teams each: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3.
Qualification[edit]
Regional competitions determined the participants in the competition, including the play-offs and play-in matches staged in 2024. The top three teams from that year's Six Nations and Pacific Four series will be placed in WXV 1. The fourth-placed teams in both tournaments will be placed in WXV 2, alongside the fifth-placed team in the Six Nations and the champions of that year's African and Asian championships; their runners-up were placed in WXV 3. The winners of a play-in between the sixth-placed Six Nations team and the European champions will be placed in WXV 2, while the losers will be placed in WXV 3 alongside the winners of a playoff between the sixth-placed team in the 2023 WXV 3, Colombia, and the highest ranked team at the end of the 2023 tournament that did not compete, the Netherlands. They will join both the champions and runners-up from that year's Oceanian championship.[3][2]
