England beat Canada 33-13 on Saturday in front of a record crowd.
The Red Roses had lost their previous two World Cup finals to New Zealand, but not this time.
Their amazing victory came thanks to tries from Ellie Kildunne, Amy Cokayne, and Alex Matthews, with Zoe Harrison giving the conversion.
This is the third time they've been crowned champions, having taken the title in 1994, 2014, and now 2025.
The result adds to a very memorable year for women's sport in England, with the Lionesses retaining their football European title at Euro 2025 in July.

England's Ellie Kildunne had plenty to celebrate after helping England to victory with an early try
The game was played in front of 81,885 fans - a record for a women's rugby match and the second-highest attendance for a men's or women's World Cup final.
The final at Twickenham was the most-watched women's rugby match ever on UK television, with a record-breaking peak audience of 5.8 million viewers.
The celebrations continued later on Sunday with a Champions Party for fans at Battersea Power Station in London.
As the England players gathered on a balcony, Hannah Botterman got the crowd to chant for Sadia Kabeya, Saturday's player of the match.
