“The 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cup in England was a game changer that put Women’s rugby on the global sporting map.
“I have no doubt that this year’s event in France will raise the bar even higher with a strong broadcast platform and attractive ticketing programme providing the stage for what promises to be a highly competitive event.”
Matches from the tournament will be broadcast on Sky Sports in Ireland and the UK, France 4 in the host nation and on Eurosport across most of the continent. Sky have yet to confirm their broadcast schedule for the tournament.
