2013 Women's European Qualification Tournament

The 2013 Women's Qualification Tournament was the 18th annual rugby tournament organised by FIRA for the continent's national teams and also a qualification tournament for 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup. Six teams took part - the fifth and sixth ranked teams from the Six Nations, based on 2012 and 2013 results, Italy and Scotland; the finalist from the 2012 European Championship, Spain (the winner, England, being already qualified); the two finalists from 2012 European Group B, Sweden and the Netherlands; and Oceania's entrant Samoa, who were disputing a qualification place from one of the European teams.

Format

The tournament used a split pool format. The six teams were seeded and divided into two pools of three. The teams played one match against each of the teams in the opposite pool. The tournament rankings were determined based on the number of points accumulated from each match.[1]
