HSBC named Official Retail Bank of Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025

HSBC has been announced as the Official Retail Bank of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 in the latest addition of commercial partners for the global showpiece event, which is now less than 100 days away from kicking off.

The tournament will take place in England from 22 August to 27 September across eight venues, and HSBC’s new relationship with Rugby World Cup will build on their 14 years of supporting World Rugby events and initiatives. They are the title partner of HSBC SVNS.

Becky Moffat, Head of Customer for HSBC UK, said: “HSBC is incredibly proud to be the Official Retail Bank for Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, building on our longstanding partnership with World Rugby. Rugby’s values of integrity, passion and respect resonate with HSBC and our customers. From grassroots to the global stage, our aim is to support the growth of rugby – helping players, fans and communities achieve their ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

World Rugby said via a press release that, together with HSBC, they have helped more than 500,000 young people pick up a rugby ball through grassroots programmes. The statement added that the bank will “also create opportunities around Women’s Rugby World Cup for people to build their financial health, from fun activities for young fans to tailored financial wellbeing sessions for players.”

More than 300,000 tickets have been sold to date, which doubled the attendance from the previous edition in New Zealand.

Alan Gilpin, World Rugby Chief Executive, added, “Their long-term commitment to the growth of the sport, and particularly women’s rugby, continues to be transformational. This partnership is a testament to HSBC’s support in providing opportunities for aspiring players and inspiring new generations of fans around the world and is another strong endorsement of a tournament that will be the biggest and best yet.”
