The biggest women’s sport events to look forward to this summer

Summer is here and while the domestic football season may be over, there’s still plenty of sport to keep us entertained for the next few months. Women’s sport has continued to enjoy a remarkable rise in 2025 and the action keeps on coming.

With the Women’s Euros just a few weeks away, plenty of tennis on the horizon and the Women’s Rugby World Cup to look forward to, there really is something for everyone.

Can England retain Euros crown?

England boss Sarina Wiegman is set to name her squad later this week as the Lionesses look to defend their European Championship crown. The tournament is just over a month away and England are desperate to prove themselves after falling short in the World Cup final against Spain two years ago.

This summer’s Euros takes place in Switzerland and the Spanish are the favourites to go all the way. But England will fancy their chances despite a tough group. They kick off their campaign against France before then taking on the Netherlands and Wales in Group D.

Their squad will be packed full of experienced talent, with the likes of Lucy Bronze, Leah Williamson and Beth Mead leading the charge, while England are sweating on the fitness of Lauren James and Lauren Hemp.

Key dates for your diary:

France v England – Saturday 5th July
England v Netherlands – Wednesday 9th July
England v Wales – Sunday 13th July
Women’s Euro 2025 final – Sunday 27th July

Cricket showdowns with India

England’s white-ball side are set to travel to India for the Cricket World Cup later this year but first they’ll welcome the hosts for a series of matches on home soil. Charlotte Edwards is looking to turn things around having replaced Jon Lewis following England’s humiliation against Australia in The Ashes over the winter.

Her first true test is five T20 clashes with India, before a trio of One Day Internationals. England are currently in the midst of a series against the West Indies and while Heather Knight’s performances saw them clinch a 3-0 T20 win, the former captain has been ruled out for the rest of the summer with an injury and faces a race against time to be fit for the World Cup.

England v India women – IT20
Saturday 28th June – Trent Bridge, Nottingham
Tuesday 1st July – Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol

Women’s tennis returns to Queen’s Club

We’re into the final week of the French Open and while Emma Raducanu suffered an early exit, she’ll be hoping for a change of fortunes when grass court season returns. And the Brit will have her eyes on becoming the first female winner at Queen’s Club since 1973.

The first female tournament at the west London venue in more than 50 years takes place next week, giving some of the best ladies on the planet the chance to get into form ahead of Wimbledon at the end of the month. Following the two tournaments in London, the US Open takes place later in the summer and Raducanu will be dreaming of once again winning the tournament she triumphed in back in 2021.

HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club – WTA500 – Monday 9th to Sunday 15th June
The Championships, Wimbledon – Monday 30th June to Sunday 13th July

England look to end New Zealand World Cup hoodoo

The Women’s Rugby World Cup returns to England later this year, with the tournament taking place on home soil for the first time since 2010.

The hosts will need to get out of their group first and they face the USA, Samoa and Australia in Pool A. If both England and New Zealand top their groups, they’ll be on course to meet again in the final.

AIG Women’s Open heads to Wales

Maja Stark claimed the US Open title over the weekend to secure her first ever golf major. The Swede finished two strokes ahead of Nelly Korda and Rio Takeda to come out on top in Wisconsin.

Stark’s win followed Mao Saigo’s three-shot victory at the Chevron Championship back in April, meaning the last 16 major championships in women’s golf have been claimed by 16 different winners.

With two down, we still have three majors to look forward to this year, culminating in the AIG Women’s Open at the end of July. This year’s British event takes place at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales and you can make the most of our hospitality options to enjoy the action in style.
