The Women's Rugby League World Cup is an international rugby league tournament, contested by the women's national teams of the International Rugby League (IRL). The competition has been held since 2000 and was incorporated into the Festival of World Cups in 2008 until 2017 when it became a centrepiece event along with the men's competition. Under the current format, eight teams are separated into two groups of four with the top two in each group qualifying for the semi-finals.
Throughout the six editions, the Women's Rugby League World Cup has been won by two teams. New Zealand has won three times while Australia has also won the title three times, including the most recent one (2021).
