Premiership Women’s Rugby can confirm that the 2025-26 league season will start on the weekend of 25-26 October four weeks after the Rugby World Cup Final is played before a world-record crowd at Twickenham.

The PWR Final will take place on the weekend of Saturday 27-28 June 2026, after 18 rounds of competitive action, and two semi-finals.

We can also confirm that there will be PWR action during the Rugby World Cup with the return of the PWR Cup. The Cup was won last April by Saracens on an unforgettable occasion against Bristol Bears and this year we will see games held across the country to help build the legacy of the World Cup and give fans club rugby to attend between international matches.

* PWR Cup kick off – mid-August

* PWR Cup Final – Weekend of 11-12 October

* PWR league kick off – Saturday 25 October

* PWR league semi-finals – 13-14 June 2026

* PWR Final – Weekend of 27-28 June 2026

“We need the most effective season structure to do that, with the optimum time between the Rugby World Cup Final and our first league match to ensure we capitalise on what we already know will be the biggest and best World Cup ever, whilst also ensuring player welfare with adequate rest across the season.”

Trailfinders Women are thrilled to announce the signing of Canadian International Rori Wood.

The 24-year-old received her first cap for Canada against Ireland in Langley last October, having previously played for Canada u20s.

Wood came on in the second half that day helping her nation beat a promising Ireland outfit that had just beaten the Black Ferns. A highlight was when Wood won a brutal scrum penalty against the head, driving through opposite number Siobhan McCarthy to help stop the Irish momentum.

The British Colombia native, who stands 6ft tall, will add even more power and international experience to the Trailfinders front row.

Joining Trailfinders Wood said: “I feel honoured and excited to start the next step of my rugby career with the Trailfinders Women, and I’m eager to grow with this team!”

Head Coach Barney Maddison said: “We’re really excited to be able to bring a prop of Rori’s quality into the squad. She’ll add depth to the position which is always important in the front row. Her ability as an athlete means she can bring a lot on the pitch and I can’t wait to see what she brings in a Trailfinders shirt.”

Ealing Trailfinders are thrilled to announce the signing of South African prop Kabous Bezuidenhout.

The 23-year-old joins from Sharks after their winning Currie Cup campaign in 2023/24.

Before his time in Durban, Bezuidenhout plied his trade in Johannesburg for the Golden Lions, playing in 15 Currie Cup games before moving to London.

A strong scrummager, Bezuidenhout stands at 6ft 2in and 130kgs, adding another solid option to the Trailfinders front row.

Joining Trailfinders, Bezuidenhout said: “I feel that it is a great opportunity to see the world with the help of rugby and to get some experience in a different country.”

Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “Kabous is a strong scrummaging prop and we’re really happy to welcome him to Trailfinders. We think he can grow into a really important part of the squad and I’m excited to see how he progresses during his time here.”

Trailfinders Women are excited to announce that future star Hayley Jones has signed a 5-year contract with the club!

Hayley is in her 2nd year at Henley College, as part of our Trailfinders Women’s Pathway dedicated to supporting female rugby players to achieve not only their rugby ambitions on field but also their academic ambitions off field.

Hayley is an exceptionally talented young woman whose commitment to her growth is evident, and we’re excited to watch her evolve as a player and a leader within our club.

We believe that with the proper support and environment, she will not only achieve her ambitious goals in rugby of becoming a Red Rose but also off-field in her further education.

Hayley has already been training with Trailfinders Women this season and radiates all the core values we hold as an organisation. She is considered very much part of the family, and we are thrilled she has chosen Trailfinders as the environment in which she wants to develop and excel.

Signing for Trailfinders, Haley said: “I am so incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity to continue developing my rugby at a higher level. I cannot wait to develop further as a player and person, and I know Trailfinders Women will give me the tools and support to enable me to do so.

“They have believed in me from an early stage and have been amazing in giving me the resources to get better as a player whilst balancing education and the rest of my life. I look forward massively to continuing my rugby journey with them and joining the great set of girls that are at the club.”

Transition Coach Emma Cooper said: “Hayley is a hugely exciting player, but more importantly a really great human being who we believe will add a lot of value to what we are building at Trailfinders!

“As we look ahead to the 25/26 season, we can’t wait to see how Hayley will contribute to the team’s success and inspire other young athletes in the Trailfinders pathway. Welcome to the family, Hayley!”
