Tickets to the opening match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup have been sold out, with a record-breaking crowd set to fill New Zealand’s national stadium at Eden Park tomorrow.

Fans will be part of history, seeing the tournament kick-off by becoming the most attended women’s Rugby World Cup match day ever, surpassing the 2014 World Cup finals which were recorded as a sell-out at the 20,000 capacity at Stade Jean-Bouin in France and the RWC 2017 finals day which saw 17,115 watch the Black Ferns claim their fifth World Cup title.

It will be the first time in history that Eden Park has reached capacity for a women’s sports event.

Meanwhile, the Fijiana 15s will play England at 3.45 pm tomorrow.
