Top women’s tackle players compete in North America for first time
The 2017 edition of Women’s World Championship marks the first time that the event will be played on North American soil. The inaugural 2010 event was held in Sweden while the 2013 edition took place in Finland.
Six teams to compete in Langley
Canada opens their 2017 tournament against Commonwealth rival, Australia. The host nation enters the third Women’s World Championship looking to improve upon a pair of silver medals.

The United States kick-off their quest for a third straight IFAF Women’s World Championship on June 24 as they open the competition against first time tournament participant Mexico.
