Additional Capacity Added For Women’s World Cup

Unprecedented demand for the upcoming Women’s Rugby World Cup in Ireland means that extra capacity has already been increased at the UCD Bowl, with hopes to further increase Billings Park for the pool games in Dublin.

With just two months to go until the Women’s Rugby World Cup gets underway unprecedented demand for tickets has resulted in additional capacity being added to the UCD Bowl, increasing the UCD venues to over 16,000 for the three match days.

The additional capacity will allow more people to attend the opening game of the tournament on August 9^th, where England will take on Spain, before USA play Italy and then hosts, Ireland, get their campaign under way against Australia at 7pm that evening. The additional capacity will also allow more people attend when Ireland will return to the Bowl on match day two (Sunday 13^th August) and three (Thursday 17^th August) to face Japan and France.

Tournament organisers expect that additional tickets will also sell fast, and urged those wanting to experience the excitement of a World Cup, to secure their tickets as soon as possible.

Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017 pool games will take place in two venues in UCD, The UCD Bowl and UCD Billings Park, on the 9^th, 13^th and 17^th August, and additional capacity is being added to the Bowl after all three match days at the ground sold out.  Match day two and three at Billings Park are sold out, and additional capacity may be added to this ground also.

Tickets for each venue, which start at just €5 for children and €15 for adults, provide access to all three games scheduled for that venue each day.
