England To Win The Women’s Rugby World Cup? (2025)

Regarded by many as the best women’s rugby team on the planet, England are red hot favourites to win the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup this autumn.

According to the latest sports betting at William Hill, the Red Roses are 2/9 to lift the Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy. There will be plenty of punters out there who are expecting England to do the business over the next few weeks.

Having racked up 161 points in two pool games against Samoa and the United States, confidence is high in the England camp ahead of Saturday’s clash with Australia.

The Red Roses have won all seven previous meetings with the Wallaroos, most recently recording a 42-7 victory in 2023. It would be a huge shock if England fall short in their pursuit of a third successive victory in the group stages.

Women’s Rugby World Cup Outright Winner Odds

Punters can bet on the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup tournament winner at William Hill and here is the current state of the market:

• England – 2/9
• New Zealand – 4/1
• Canada – 6/1
• France – 16/1
• Ireland – 66/1
• Australia – 80/1
• South Africa – 100/1
• Scotland – 150/1
• USA – 200/1

New Zealand and England have won each edition of the Women’s Rugby World Cup since 1994, with the Red Roses lifting the trophy on two occasions (1994 & 2014) compared to six triumphs (1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2017 & 2021) for the Black Ferns.

Plenty will be considering backing England and New Zealand in the ‘straight forecast’ market for this year’s tournament, and who could blame them? On paper, they are a class above their rivals and that is the final that everybody wants to win.

Jess Breach has scored five tries in the opening two games of the competition and the Saracens winger is now on 52 international tries. She is just nine scores adrift of Sue Day’s all-time record for the Red Roses.

Teammates Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne are hot on her heels though, with 49 and 42 tries respectively. England have a plethora of options in attack but these three players will be key to their chances of Rugby World Cup glory.
