Women's Rugby World Cup 2010 Media Accreditation

The Media Accreditation process is now open for Women's Rugby World Cup 2010 in England.

The tournament brings together the world's top 12 international teams competing in 30 matches across five match days for the honour of succeeding New Zealand as Women's Rugby World Cup champions.

The action kicks off on August 20 at the impressive Surrey Sports Park facility in Guildford, where all the pool matches will be played on back-to-back pitches.

The semi finals, bronze final and final will be played at the Twickenham Stoop in London. The final, which is expected to draw a bumper crowd, will be played on September 5.
