Women's game grows by 270,000

[beige]

World Rugby have announced an increase of 270,000 participants in the Women's game for 2014, largely thanks to a recent campaign.

The global rugby community has united to celebrate the growth and development of women’s rugby on International Women’s Day under the theme 'Make It Happen'.

World Rugby and its member unions are committed to 'Make It Happen' and ensure easy access to rugby for women and girls through initiatives like the 'Get Into Rugby' mass participation programme, which saw 121,000 girls across 138 nations introduced to the game in 2014.

With women’s rugby one of the world’s fastest-growing team sports and a mass participation reality in nations such as USA, Mexico and India, global participation has increased from 1.5 to 1.77 million in 2014 as women’s rugby enjoyed a record year of exposure on and off the field.
