The Women's Rugby World Cup Semi Finals have been the stage for some of the most intense and memorable matches in women's rugby over the last 20-30 years. Teams like New Zealand and England have consistently dominated these crucial rounds, showcasing their prowess on the global stage. In 1998, New Zealand began its ascent in the Rugby World by advancing through the Rugby World Cup Semi Finals to win its first title, defeating the USA in the final. This victory marked the beginning of New Zealand's dominance, which continued into the 2002 and 2006 tournaments, where they defeated France and England, respectively, in the Women Rugby World Cup Semi Finals before clinching the championship titles.

The 2010 Women Rugby World Cup Semi Finals saw New Zealand and England clash again, with New Zealand prevailing and securing their fourth consecutive title. However, in 2014, England broke New Zealand's winning streak by advancing through the semi-finals and ultimately winning the championship. The rivalry between England and New Zealand continued in the 2017 tournament, where New Zealand once again emerged victorious in the Rugby World Cup Semi Finals and went on to reclaim the World Cup. The most recent Rugby World Cup Semi Finals, held in 2021 (played in 2022 due to the pandemic), featured England defeating Canada and New Zealand overcoming France, setting up a thrilling final where New Zealand emerged as champions.

New Zealand and England have been the most successful teams in the Women's Rugby World Cup Semi Finals, frequently reaching the final stages and often securing the title. Canada and France have also been strong contenders, regularly making it to the semi-finals and demonstrating their competitiveness on the world stage.
