Premiership Women's Rugby: IRFU confirms interest in PWR expansion

11 players within Ireland's Six Nation squad play in the PWR

The Irish Rugby Football Union [IRFU] have confirmed that Irish clubs could play in the Premiership Women's Rugby [PWR] in the future.

The PWR opened an expression of interest process in April for organisations who may join the nine-team competition if it expanded.

The closing date for clubs around the UK and Republic of Ireland to submit their expressions of interest was 30 April.

Currently, Munster, Connacht, Leinster and Ulster play within an Interpro league, while Clovers and the Irish Wolfhounds represent Ireland in the Celtic Challenge alongside clubs from Scotland and Wales.
