USA Women’s Eagles Head Coach Sione Fukofuka and staff have assembled forty of the nation's top rugby talents for the final camp ahead of the final selection for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Squad.
Players from all corners of the country have converged at Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland giving players one last opportunity to show their cards in their bid for team selection. A 32-player squad will travel to England to represent the USA Rugby in the pinnacle showcase of women’s rugby which takes place quadrennially.
Fukofuka commented; “The 40 players that have joined us this week in Mt St Mary's, have come in motivated and full of excitement to earn a place at the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025.
“Being here is the first step. Now, they have to compete to earn an opportunity at selection. The players and staff are working hard to push standards, drive behaviors and ensure that we are preparing the strongest squad we can to represent the USA in England.
“The focus this week is on the present and executing our core skills under pressure, being more accurate in our collisions and competing with each other to help elevate our ability to perform consistently. We have an internal Stars vs Stripes game where we have a number of very strong match ups going head to head competing for final selection.”
The USA Eagles Women’s World Cup 2025 squad will be announced at the USA Rugby 50th Anniversary Gala on July 17th and will be shared publicly via live stream.
