London will lead on women’s sports in 2025 – mayor

Sarah Massey, the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 managing director, said the competition will “capture hearts and headlines globally”.

“We’ve seen unprecedented demand for tickets across the tournament and now the iconic Twickenham Stadium hosting the final,” she added.

Another event will be the return of women’s tennis to the Queen’s Club after an absence of more than 50 years.

The new Women’s WTA 500 event will take place from 9 June, shortly before the Wimbledon Championships.

Cricket fans will see England Women face India in a T20 International at the Oval on 4 July, followed by a one day international at Lord’s on 19 July.

The Oval will also host the first ever Vitality Blast Women’s Finals Day on 27 July.
