PWR Cup
}} The PWR Cup returned following a hiatus in 2024–25. The competition acted as a pre-season developmental tournament. In the PWR Cup, teams were drawn into two pools one of five teams and one of four teams. The pools were based on the 2024–25 Premiership Women's Rugby season standings. The top eight teams were placed using alternate seeding (1st in Pool A, 2nd in Pool B, 3rd in Pool A, etc.). The ninth team was randomly assigned to decide which pool had five teams. Each team played every team in their pool once, home or away. The fixtures were announced on 17 June 2025. Teams that secured the top two positions within their respective pools advanced to the semi-finals, with the top ranked teams receiving home advantage. The winning teams from the semi-finals then progressed to the final, while the losing teams competed in the third-place play-off. Saracens won the 2025 PWR Cup, retaining their title from 2023–24, after they defeated Harlequins in the final at StoneX Stadium on 11 October 2025.
