The 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup will be remembered not just for the competition but for the records broken, the audiences moved, and the inspiration ignited. From attendance highs to television viewership and cultural resonance, this tournament marked a turning point for women’s rugby and sport more broadly.

From major youth tournaments to customised sports tours and corporate events, Move Sports delivered a vibrant first semester in 2025, contributing significantly to sports tourism in Portugal with over 12,000 hotel nights generated.

The 2025 edition of the Dove Men+Care Portugal Rugby Youth Festival, organised by Move Sports, took place on 12–13 April at the Estádio Universitário de Lisboa, gathering more than 3,200 young athletes, over 125 teams, and thousands of supporters, families, and coaches from across the globe.

In 1823, during a spirited football match at Rugby School in England, a young student named William Webb Ellis, driven by a flash of inspiration, picked up the ball and ran towards the opposition's goal. This audacious act is celebrated as the inception of rugby football, a sport that has since evolved into a global phenomenon.
