Women's Rugby League World Cup 2021: Every nation's full squad image

Eight nations are facing off in the delayed edition of the 2021 Women's Rugby League World Cup, which kicked off earlier this month.

Players from the Australian NRLW competition and English Women's Super League feature heavily throughout the tournament, with more professional opportunities now available for females in the sport.

Reigning champions Australia are the heavy favourites according to the bookmakers, but will likely face competition from trans-Tasman neighbours New Zealand and host nation England if they reach the final.

Running concurrently with the men's and wheelchair tournaments, the women's final will be held as part of a doubleheader at Old Trafford alongside the men's decider.

The Sporting News has listed every nation's squad below.
