World Rugby, the international federation, announced on Tuesday that it recommended that the 2021 Women's World Cup scheduled for New Zealand (September 18-October 16) be postponed to 2022, due to the health crisis.

“The recommendation will be considered by the Rugby World Cup Board of Directors and the World Rugby Executive Committee on March 8 and 9, respectively.

Realizing that this recommendation is extremely disappointing for the teams and the fans, their interest is at the heart of this decision.

This was taken with the aim of giving them the best possible experience of the tournament, for all New Zealanders, as for the world rugby family, ”said World Rugby in a statement. 

And to add: “This recommendation is based on the uncertain evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic and the difficult environment it imposes on the whole world.

During recent discussions with partners, whether with New Zealand Rugby, the New Zealand government and participating federations, it has become clear that, given the scale of the pandemic and the uncertainties associated with Covid-19 , it is simply not possible to provide the best possible conditions for all the teams participating in this global tournament.

The challenges include the uncertainty and the ability of teams to adequately prepare for the Rugby World Cup, before and upon arrival in New Zealand, while taking into account travel conditions around the world. ”
