Experience the new trophy | Millenium Square | Friday 23 May (12pm-6pm)
Anyone can come down to Millenium Square on Friday afternoon to see the new Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy and take their picture with this piece of women’s sporting history.
Crafted in sterling silver and plated with 24-carat gold, the newly designed trophy is a modern expression of excellence and ambition. It fuses history and future by retaining the iconic twin handles of the original prize while introducing a sleek, oval silhouette, with names of past champions engraved on its base, acknowledging the trailblazers who have shaped the game.
World Rugby Chief of Women’s Rugby Sally Horrox said: “This trophy represents far more than a tournament; it reflects a movement. A movement fuelled by passion, shaped by trailblazers, and driven by the next generation of women and girls stepping into the game around the world.”
