RT Commercial has today announced Vodafone Ireland as the official broadcast sponsor of the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 on RT .
The 10th Women's Rugby World Cup takes place from August 22 to September 27 2025, hosted across multiple cities in England. With an expanded 16-team format, this will be the biggest Women's Rugby World Cup to date.
Brokered by dentsu Ireland, the sponsorship will align Vodafone Ireland with the tournament's key moments, from all the live action on RT 2 and RT Player to expert studio analysis and commentary from RT studios. It also highlights the brand's commitment to supporting women's sport.
As part of the sponsorship, Vodafone Ireland credits will appear alongside all transmissions of the matches on RT Television and RT Player (Live & Catchup), and the sponsor's logo will feature on all TV promotional trailers.
Dara Meaney, Head of Sales, RT said:
As a brand that shares in RT 's commitment to celebrating women in sport, we are delighted to have Vodafone Ireland onboard as our sponsor of the Women's Rugby World Cup. The support of a brand like Vodafone Ireland helps to ensure that these athletes get the platform they deserve, and that Irish audiences get to enjoy every moment of the upcoming tournament.
Gerry Nixon, Head of Sponsorship & Insights, Vodafone Ireland said:
Vodafone Ireland is delighted to partner with RT on their coverage of the Women's Rugby World Cup.

Ciara Lawlor, Business Director, dentsu Ireland said:
