The top tier, WXV 1, will feature six teams from the Women’s Six Nations and World Rugby Pacific Four Series.
WXV 2 will have two teams from Europe, including one team from the Six Nations and Spain as winners of the European Championship. Adding to the group will be one team from the Pacific Four Series and three winners from the Regional Championships in Africa, Asia and Oceania.
WXV 3 will again have two teams from Europe as well as the runners-up from the Regional Championships in Africa, Asia, and Oceania with the final place going to the winner of a play-off between Colombia and Brazil.
