How can I apply to be a volunteer?
Unfortunately applications have now closed for our volunteer programme. We hope you can find other exciting ways to be involved in this milestone moment for women’s rugby.
Who can apply?
To volunteer at RWC 2025, you must be 18 years old on or before 01 April 2025 and have the right to work and volunteer in the UK. We hope to welcome a variety of volunteers to our programme - from those who have never volunteered before, to those already involved!
I have submitted my application. What happens next?
We will be reviewing applications over the next few months. You may be contacted in November about attending an online interview, but this will only be for certain roles so do not worry if you don't hear from us. Role offers will be sent out between February and March 2025.
Do I need to be available for the whole tournament?
We require volunteers to be available for all match days at their venue or for a minimum of five shifts - whichever number is higher. Please refer to the match schedule to check the required dates at your chosen venue
Can I be a volunteer and attend as a spectator?
Most shifts at each venue will take place on matchday. If you wish to attend as a spectator, we suggest purchasing tickets for a venue you have not selected as a 'preferred venue' on your application form.
Will I be able to watch the match at my venue?
As the majority of shifts are back of house, at the heart of all the action, there won’t be the opportunity to watch the match at your venue. If you would like to attend as a spectator, we suggest purchasing tickets for a venue you have not selected as a 'preferred venue' on your application form.
Will my expenses be covered?
Unfortunately, we are unable to cover travel, accommodation, or other expenses associated with the volunteer programme. All volunteers will receive a uniform, and catering will be provided on venue during shifts. We are still working with the local transport providers to understand travel options at tournament time, we will provide updated information when this is available.
I've completed my application form, how do I log back into my portal?
Once you have submitted your application form you can sign in to your portal at any time by going to the following link - Home | Women's RWC 2025 (tms.rugby). From here there should be a sign in button in the top right corner.
Will I need to attend an interview in person?
Interviews will only be required for certain roles and will take place online via Teams. If you are asked to attend an online interview and you require support with accessing this platform please email volunteer@england.rwc.rugby
When will I find out if I've been successful?
Role offers will be sent between February and March 2025.
