- Ten-team competition and Challenge Cup confirmed by RFL
- League has been absent from calendar for over 18 months
Rugby league’s Women’s Super League will return next month after an absence of more than 18 months in a major boost to England’s chances in this autumn’s home World Cup. The entire professional season was abandoned in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, stunting the encouraging progress the game has made in recent years since the launch of the WSL in 2017.
After the sport’s leading women returned to training at their clubs for the first time last weekend, the Rugby Football League have now confirmed that the elite competition will kick off again in April as a newly expanded 10-team competition, with the return of the Challenge Cup also confirmed.
