Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team Set To Play The United States In Ottawa Ahead Of Rugby World Cup

Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team is set to host a highly anticipated international match against the United States on August 1, 2025, at TD Place in Ottawa. The match kicks off at 4:00pm PT / 7:00pm ET and will be the team’s only home game of the season and their final appearance on Canadian soil before heading to England for the 2025 Rugby World Cup.

Currently ranked #2 in the world, Canada enters this match with strong momentum, having recently won the 2024 Pacific Four Series, a tournament that included a decisive 50-7 win over the U.S., and a historic victory over reigning world champions New Zealand. The team also boasts a nine-game winning streak against the Americans. Several standout players, including Sophie de Goede, Laetitia Royer, Alexandra Tessier, and Olivia Apps, have been named to the 2024 World Rugby Dream Teams.

Tickets go on sale May 8, starting at $34.50 plus taxes and fees. Rugby Canada is also launching a Club Ticket Program, allowing rugby clubs in Ontario, Quebec, and beyond to raise funds while attending the match together. Clubs will receive 15% of ticket sales made through a special link, with seating in a designated stadium section.

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Ottawa hosts international rugby at TD Place. In 2023, Canada’s women played in front of a record crowd of over 10,000 fans. Local leaders and sports organizations, including Ottawa Tourism, Rugby Ontario, and the City of Ottawa, are backing the event, highlighting its economic and cultural impact.

To further support their World Cup ambitions, Rugby Canada has launched “Mission: Win Rugby World Cup,” a campaign aiming to raise $1 million to enhance team resources and training. Over 50% of the goal has already been reached.

More details, including broadcast coverage and media credentials, will be announced soon. Tickets and sign-up for early access are available at rugby.ca.
