The 2000 Women's Rugby League World Cup – or Women's World Series – was the first staging of the Women's Rugby League World Cup. The tournament was held in England from early November, culminating in the final between Great Britain and New Zealand on 24 November at Wilderspool Stadium, Warrington. Three teams took part, with Australia missing the final.[1]
In July 2000, when the tournament was officially launched, it was planned to be a four-team event with the New Zealand Māori team also taking part.[2]
