Wales will host England at Principality Stadium when the sides meet in the 2025 Women's Six Nations. The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) hopes the fixture against the defending champions on Saturday, 29 March will once again break the attendance record for a stand-alone women's Test in Wales. It stands at the 10,592 who watched Wales play Italy in the finale of the 2024 Six Nations.
Wales will also make a trip to Newport's Rodney Parade during next year's championship, when they play Ireland on Sunday, 20 April. The WRU is hoping that the team's return to the venue, following a historic first win against Australia in Newport last Friday, will be a huge boost for the team and its fans.
Wales Women will play a Six Nations game at Rodney Parade when hosting Ireland. Ioan Cunningham’s side enjoyed a historic first win against Australia in Newport last Friday and they will return to the ground for their round four encounter with the Irish on Sunday, April 20 (kick-off 3pm). That comes after Wales target a record crowd when they host England at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, March 29 (kick-off 4.45pm).
Ioan Cunningham’s side travel to Scotland in round one, France in round three and finish in Italy. Tickets for the Rodney Parade game go on sale on Friday morning (10am) along with the women’s capital clash with England and the men’s Principality Stadium games against the English and Irish.
WRU CEO Abi Tierney said: “Principality Stadium is the home of Welsh rugby, seeing the women’s senior side run out last year against Italy was phenomenal.
“It’s an ambitious move for Wales Women to face England at Principality Stadium, but with the level of support the fans show this team, we’re confident we can beat our home attendance record. “Returning to Rodney Parade after such a striking debut win over Australia in the WXV warm-up earlier this month will be a huge boost too. “We’ve got two tough fixtures for Wales men, but a great opportunity to test ourselves in the most exciting competition in the northern hemisphere.”
Tickets for the Rodney Parade game, seated and the terrace, cost £10 for adults and £5 for under-18s. The early bird prices for the Principality Stadium fixture are from category A (middle tier) £15 adults and £7.50 under-18s, category B (lower tier) £10 adult and £5 under-18s. They are available at wru.wales/tickets from 10am on Friday.
Wales' Six Nations Schedule
The category A tickets - which cost £130 each - are sold out for the clash with England at the Principality Stadium on March 15, but as tickets go on public sale on Friday at 10am, some of the most expensive tickets remain for the clash with Ireland on February 22. Both the men and women have just two home games in next year's tournaments, with trips to France, Italy and Scotland ahead for Warren Gatland's and Ioan Cunningham's sides.
Three of those four matches will be in the Principality Stadium, with Wales women taking on England there in Cardiff - a year after returning to the ground to face Italy. Their other game against Ireland will be played at Rodney Parade in Newport, which has hosted their two recent warm-up matches for the WXV2 tournament.
The cost of tickets for the men's two home games range from £40 through to £130. That's in contrast to this autumn's fixtures against Fiji, Australia and South Africa - where none of the matches have tickets that exceed £100. Category D tickets - which cost £60 - are sold out for the England match, while less than 500 remain for the Ireland match as they go on offer to the public.
As for the women's tickets, there's an early bird offer which will see tickets for the England game go as high as £15, while the Ireland game will cost as much as £10.

Rugby fans descend on Cardiff from across the globe – all with a mutual love and passion for the game; and, with two huge, eagerly anticipated matches fans will get to see Wales face the world’s very best teams on home turf. It doesn’t get much better than that.”
