Applications are now open for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 volunteer programme.
This is an exciting opportunity for people to get involved with the tournament in Exeter and other venues next year as a volunteer. Applications close on Thursday 31 October.
The programme will help organisers assemble eight volunteer teams to support the tournament in each of the host locations, one of which is Sandy Park, Exeter.
The Women’s Rugby World Cup takes place between 22 August and 27 September in 2025.
In Exeter a team of just over 100 volunteers will be created to support the set up and match day operations at Sandy Park, which will will play host to multiple matches in the pool phase as well as two quarter-finals. Tickets go on sale shortly.
Volunteers will be integral to welcoming fans and teams to the host locations and showcasing each of the unique cities and towns. There will be a variety of volunteer roles available across the tournament, covering customer service, sport, fan experience, broadcast & media, and event operations.
Who can apply to be a volunteer?
With an open and inclusive volunteering programme, organisers are looking forward to welcoming individuals from all backgrounds. Whether people are new to volunteering or volunteer regularly, and whether they are avid rugby fans or are new to the sport, this will be a unique and exciting experience for everyone.
In order to be part of the volunteer programme, applicants need to be:
- Aged 18+ by 1 April 2025
- Eligible to volunteer in the UK
- Available for all match-days at preferred location
Cllr Duncan Wood, Lead Councillor for Leisure Services & Healthy Living, said: “This is an incredible opportunity for anyone to take part in an unforgettable experience. We’ve seen in the past – at the London 2012 Olympics, and even in Exeter at the Rugby World Cup in 2015 – the impact the volunteers have in making the games run smoothly and not only that but adding colour and vibrancy to the occasion. I would encourage anyone who is interested to go to the website and fill in an expression an interest and start that journey now.”
