Women’s Elite Rugby (WER) has officially announced the addition of three new teams in New York, San Francisco, and the Twin Cities (Minnesota) as part of its inaugural 2025 season. These teams will be joining Boston, Chicago and Denver as the first six markets in the US to host a professional women’s rugby team.
These new teams will play a crucial role in WER’s marketing and sponsorship strategies. The league’s expansion is about ensuring a geographically diverse and commercially viable league that can attract national and regional sponsors alike.
The league’s inaugural season is set to kick off in March 2025.
As the league prepares for its debut, further announcements regarding team rosters, schedules, and additional partnerships are expected to be released in the coming months.
