WXV Global Series will run from 2026 to 2028, with Hong Kong taking on Brazil, Fiji, the Netherlands, Samoa and Spain
Women’s rugby got a global boost on Thursday, when officials announced the creation of a new series featuring the world’s best 18 teams.
In a press conference in the UK, officials said the new WXV Global Series would be played between 2026 and 2028, with more than 100 matches also providing a pathway to the 2029 World Cup in Australia.
Nations will be split into two groups, with the top 12 playing each other in a home-and-away format, while those ranked 13 to 18, which includes Hong Kong, will compete in a tournament at a single destination.
As part of Hong Kong’s preparation for the next two years, they will take on Germany and Belgium in a tri-nations competition at the Fritz-Grunebaum-Sportpark in Heidelberg in November.
