Tournament ambassador and former Ireland captain Fiona Coghlan, commented with two months to go:

“Excitement is building as the tournament is fast approaching. We have worked really hard to use this exciting and prestigious tournament to promote female rugby in Ireland and have engaged with over 2,000 players over the past 12 months. The WRWC trophy has also attended 164 events throughout the island, increasing its profile and inspiring the next generation of female Irish Rugby representatives. “The tournament itself will be a carnival full of diversity, atmosphere and good old Irish hospitality. It’s going to be a great occasion, so get down, enjoy the craic and cheer on your team!”
