International rugby tournament to take place at Caerphilly venue
The Centre for Sporting Excellence in Ystrad Mynach will host the 2025 Six Nations Women's Summer Series.
Caerphilly County Borough Council announced the venue for the prestigious international tournament, which will take place on July 5, 11, and 17.
The Summer Series features mainly under-20 squads from all Six Nations unions: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales.
Each team is allowed to include up to five under-23 players per matchday squad.
The event provides a vital platform for the next generation of rugby stars to compete at an international level.
Councillor Chris Morgan, cabinet member for leisure, said: "It's fantastic to see the Centre for Sporting Excellence hosting international fixtures of this scale.
"Events like this put Caerphilly on the sporting map, showcasing our world-class facilities and commitment to both grassroots and elite sport.
"We look forward to welcoming teams, supporters, and rugby fans to the borough this summer."
The decision to bring the tournament to Ystrad Mynach reflects the centre's growing reputation as a hub for both community use and elite performance sport.
All matches will be streamed live via the Six Nations U20 YouTube channel, with additional content shared across Six Nations Rugby social media channels.
