What does the new Women's Rugby World Cup trophy look like?
- Published
The new trophy for the Women's Rugby World Cup is made of sterling silver and plated with 24-carat gold.
It is said to represent modernity, achievement and passion at 38cm tall and weighing 4.5kg.
The oval shape represents a rugby ball, while the handles are retained from the original trophy.
Previous World Cup winners are engraved on its base and there is an etch of the world map on the trophy to symbolise the sport's reach across the globe.
There will be 16 teams participating in 2025, including debutants Brazil.
The trophy design was chosen by nine former world champions, including England's 2014 World Cup winning captain Katy Daley-Mclean.
This is the third different trophy since the tournament began in 1991.
The first trophy was won by the United States in 1991 and England in 1994, but went missing after the tournament.
A second trophy was made for the 1998 World Cup.
This trophy was presented at seven tournaments, including the last World Cup hosted and won by New Zealand in 2022.
The 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup begins with England's match against the United States in Sunderland on Friday, 22 August.
Every match of the tournament will be available live on the BBC.
