History

Wales's first match was a friendly against Great Britain Teachers in 2019, with a following friendly against England Lions (England's B team) in November of the same year. The first full international played by the team was in June 2021 against England.[1] Wales entered their first World Cup qualifying campaign in 2024, and victories over Ireland and The Netherlands saw them qualifying for the 2026 Women's Rugby League World Cup on 22 June.[2] [3]
