Most recent champion(s)	Jamaica

The "Caribbean Women’s 15-a-side Rugby Championship" to give the competition its full title is a small but expanding tournament run by the IRB through NAWIRA - the North America and West Indies Rugby Association. Seven-a-side rugby is growing inter-island sport, but the full 15-a-side game is significantly more resource intensive and so it was only with the financial support of the IRB that the first tournament took place in December 2003.

Only Trinidad and Jamaica took part in that first event, Trinidad winning over two legs in Port of Spain. In September 2006 a second event was organised, this time in Kingston, Jamaica and featuring Guyana. The hosts were again winners by the narrowest of margins.

The third championship will take place in August 2007 in the Cayman Islands. The Caymans have previously only ever played one international - a home defeat to Jamaica in 2004.
