2026 WXV
The 2026 WXV Global Series and 2026 WXV Global Series Challenger are the inaugural editions of the two successors to WXV, consisting of fixtures for women's national teams organised by participating national unions and World Rugby. Replacing the original three-tier WXV tournament, this new structure moves the top 12 nations into a home-and-away cross-regional touring model (the WXV Global Series), while six emerging nations compete at a single host venue funded by World Rugby (the WXV Global Series Challenger).
