[edit] Official rankings

[edit] IRB World Ranking

Currently the IRB does not compile a similar ranking system for women's international rugby. Where rankings are referred to by some boards these will normally be the finishing positions in the previous Women's Rugby World Cup, which only takes place every four years and will only include those countries that qualified for the finals. Seedings for each World Cup are also influenced by these positions, but not entirely decided by them. The rankings based on the 2006 tournament are:

1: Flag of New Zealand New Zealand
2: Flag of England England
3: Flag of France France
4: Flag of Canada Canada
5: Flag of the United States United States
6: Flag of Scotland Scotland
7: Flag of Australia Australia
8: Flag of Ireland Ireland
9: Flag of Spain Spain
10: Flag of Samoa Samoa
11: Flag of Kazakhstan Kazakhstan
12: Flag of South Africa South Africa

[edit] FIRA European Ranking

FIRA-AER do produce an annual ranking of European nations, based on previous season's FIRA and Six Nations competitions, for use in FIRA tournaments. As these will be based on more recent performances they can contradict the IRB list and also include countries not featuring in the World Cup-based ranking (such as Wales, for example). On the other hand they obviously only include European nations. The rankings for start of the 2008/2009 season[1] (based on results in 2007/2008) were:

1: Flag of England England
2: Flag of Wales Wales (up 2 from 2007/8)
3: Flag of Ireland Ireland (up 3 from 2007/8)
4: Flag of France France (down 2 from 2007/8)
5: Flag of Scotland Scotland
6: Flag of Spain Spain (down 3 from 2007/8)
7: Flag of the Netherlands Netherlands
8: Flag of Sweden Sweden
9: Flag of Italy Italy
10: Flag of Russia Russia
11: Flag of Germany Germany (up 1 from 2007/8)
12: Flag of Belgium Belgium (down 1 from 2007/8)
13: Flag of Romania Romania
14: Flag of Finland Finland
15: Flag of Luxembourg Luxembourg
16: Flag of Norway Norway
17: Flag of Serbia Serbia
