The 2024 Women's Six Nations Championship, known as the Guinness Women's Six Nations for sponsorship purposes except in France where due to alcohol sponsorship prohibitions the tournament was unsponsored, was the 23rd series of the Women's Six Nations Championship, an annual women's rugby union competition featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. It began on 23 March and ended on 27 April 2024.
The competition was part of the qualification process for the 2025 World Cup, with a qualifying place awarded to the highest finisher other than England and France who had already qualified automatically for the tournament, by virtue of being among the top 4 teams at the previous World Cup. England also automatically qualified as hosts. [1]
