World Rugby and Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. extend global partnership

World Rugby and Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. have extended their global partnership, with Mitsubishi Electric strengthening its commitment to the women's game through support for the WXV Global Series. Having first joined forces ahead of the inaugural WXV competition in 2023, Mitsubishi Electric will elevate its support through an expanded partnership that reflects the continued evolution of the competition.

As part of the renewed agreement, Mitsubishi Electric becomes the presenting partner of the WXV Global Series and WXV Global Series Challenger which will see over 100 international fixtures played across three years on the road to Women’s Rugby World Cup 2029.

Alongside its partnership with World Rugby, the company has also strengthened its support for the game through recent partnerships with Premiership Women's Rugby (PWR) and the Rugby Players’ Association (RPA), helping drive the growth, visibility and development of women's rugby at both the international and domestic level.

World Rugby Chief of Women's Rugby, Sally Horrox said: "Mitsubishi Electric has been an outstanding partner during a transformative period for women's rugby. From the launch of WXV to the success of Women's Rugby World Cup 2025, they have consistently shared our ambition to grow the game and create meaningful connections with fans through innovative storytelling and digital engagement. 

"As the WXV Global Series continues to evolve, their enhanced support will help us elevate the competition, shine a light on our athletes and continue driving the visibility, competitiveness and commercial growth of women's rugby on the global stage."
