2017 FIL RATHBONES WOMEN’S LACROSSE WORLD CUP SURREY SPORTS PARK 12th - 22ND JULY

THE UK’S LARGEST ELITE WOMEN’S SPORTING EVENT IN 2017

Welcoming the World of Lacrosse

The FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup will be the largest elite women’s sporting event in the UK in 2017 and it will be, by some margin, the largest Women’s Lacrosse World Cup ever.

The 2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup will be the tenth in the series, the third to be hosted by England and will have almost 30 teams participating – nearly half as big again as the 2013 event in Oshawa, Canada.

As an event it has grown slowly over the 35 years since its inception, in 1982, when England hosted six countries (Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, United States and Wales) at the inaugural World Cup in Nottingham.

In addition to the main World event, it has become tradition to host a World Festival of Lacrosse for travelling school, club and overseas teams to compete in. The 2017 World Festival will welcome over 500 lacrosse players to compete in the auxiliary event.

The 2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse schedule will be played over 11 days (July 12th-22nd). England will play their opening game directly after the opening ceremony on Wednesday evening. This will commence the Pool Play period which ends on Tuesday 18th. The knock out stages will then be played culminating with the 2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup Final on Saturday 22nd July.

Surrey Sports Park 2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup will be hosted at a world class venue, Surrey Sports Park.

Surrey Sports Park is an outstanding venue that plays host to a wide range of sporting teams and leagues.

Surrey Sports Park was opened as part of a multi-million pound re-development of the University of Surrey. The facility has become one of the UK’s premier sporting venues with an exceptional track record of hosting high profile events. Surrey is committed to bringing world-class athletes to Guildford by hosting international and national events.

English Lacrosse has been working closely with SSP on a range of events, including the 2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup. Surrey Sports Park played an important role during the 2012 Olympic Games by hosting 16 Olympic and Paralympic teams for pre-games training teams.

Surrey also house Aviva Premiership Rugby side Harlequins, ZEO Superleague netball team Surrey Storm and professional British Basketball League Club Surrey United.

Surrey Sports Park hosted the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2010.

30,000 spectators will provide a festival feel to the world cup over 11 days

England will attract a strong home crowd.

Other top nations such as USA, Australia, Canada and Japan will deliver travelling supporters.

2017 FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup Stadium will be created around 5000 seats.

Rathbones’ partnership has enabled us to improve and expand our national tournaments, raise the profile of lacrosse and encourage participation, particularly in youth communities that wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to experience our sport. Important qualities like team work, discipline and commitment, which are nurtured from our junior lacrosse programmes through to senior level, will shine at the Rathbones World Cup next summer.

2017 Title Sponsor - Rathbones FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup 2017 is proud to partner with great, supportive companies.

Rathbone Investment Management – one of the UK’s leading providers of investment management services for individuals, charities and professional advisers - has partnered with English Lacrosse since 2013 and continues its support as title sponsor of the FIL Rathbones Women’s Lacrosse World Cup 2017.

We look forward to working with Rathbones, and our other sponsors, to put on a great sporting tournament for spectators to enjoy and be inspired by, as they watch elite sportswomen on the world stage.
