Resolution criteria

This market resolves to the winner of the 2026 HSBC SVNS Women’s World Championship. The winner is the team that secures the gold medal in the final round of the SVNS World Championship Series, scheduled to conclude in Bordeaux, France, in June 2026.

Resolution will be determined by official results published on the World Rugby HSBC SVNS website. In the event of tournament cancellation or any other scenario where no official champion is crowned for the 2026 World Championship Series, the market will resolve to N/A.

Background

Starting in 2026, World Rugby implemented a new, evolved competition model for the HSBC SVNS series. The regular season (Division 1) consists of six high-impact tournament events. The season culminates in the "HSBC SVNS World Championship Series," a three-event finale held in Hong Kong, Valladolid, and Bordeaux.

The top 12 women's teams—comprising eight teams from the SVNS Division 1 regular season and four teams promoted from Division 2—compete in these three championship events to determine the annual world champion. Australia and New Zealand have historically been the dominant forces in the series, though the expanded format and playoff structure introduce increased competition from emerging nations and teams qualifying through the lower divisions.
