WOMEN’S RUGBY
KINGSPAN STADIUM TO HOST
IRELAND WOMEN
Kingspan Stadium will host an Ireland Women’s open training session on
Saturday 10th October 2015. This news comes after the exciting announcement
that Dublin and Belfast will host the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2017, the final
stages of which will take place at our very own Kingspan Stadium.
There are now 16 adult women’s teams playing
in competitions across the province, almost
double the number participating two years ago.
The popularity of women’s rugby has increased
dramatically and the Ireland team has been at
the forefront of the success story, winning the Six
Nations Grand Slam in 2013 and claiming the Six
Nations title earlier this year. At the Women’s RWC
in 2014, they caused one of the biggest upsets in
Women’s World Cup history when they defeated
four-time defending champions New Zealand in
the pool stages, before going on to finish fourth –
their best ever result and one they will no doubt be
looking to top in 2017.
Gates will open at 1.30pm and supporters will have
access to the coveted Women’s Rugby World Cup
Trophy and the Women’s Six Nations Trophy for
photo opportunities in the Scrum Bar. An open
training session will take place between 2.30pm
and 4pm and following that squad members will
be available for a meet and greet.
Tickets for this event are available now and
are complimentary to all supporters. You can
print yours now from home by visiting
Tickets are also available via telephone
(028 9049 3222 Option 2) or from the
Ticket Office at Kingspan Stadium.
