Head coach Sean Lynn has named the 32 players - 19 forwards and 13 backs - to represent Wales at Women's Rugby World Cup 2025.
Back row forwards Alex Callender and Kate Williams have been named Wales co-captains for the tournament, which gets underway in England on 22 August.
Having qualified for the tournament through WXV 2 (pictured), Wales get their campaign underway a day later against Scotland in Salford on 23 August before two further Pool B matches, against Canada on 30 August and Fiji on 6 September.
The 30 players who made history with a first Wales test match victory against the Wallaroos in Australia are all selected in the squad.
While Wales scrum-half Sian Jones was not considered due to a wrist injury, international centre Kerin Lake is selected, while Wales U20 captain Branwen Metcalfe is the only uncapped player in the squad.
Metcalfe, 18, is the younger sister of Wales full-back Nel Metcalfe and they are one of two pairs of sisters in the squad, along with prop Gwenllian Pyrs and second row Alaw Ryrs. All four players started their rugby journey playing for WRU community club, Clwb Rygbi Nant Conwy, in North Wales.
Experienced hooker Carys Phillips will play in her fourth Rugby World Cup, while the three players who made their Wales debuts in Australia – scrum-half Seren Lockwood, prop Katherine Baverstock and second row Tilly Vucaj – are all named in the squad.
Privilege and honour - Lynn
"These are the 32 players who have earned the privilege and honour to represent Wales at what will be the biggest and best women’s Rugby World Cup," said Sean Lynn, the Wales Head coach.
"The Wales squad selected is a mix of experience and exciting young talent that have all proved they deserve the opportunity to play on the biggest stage of a World Cup.
"We have hooker Carys Phillips, who will be playing at her fourth World Cup, and uncapped Branwen Metcalfe, who impressed us all with her performances for Wales U20s in the recent Six Nations tournament. As coaches, there were some tough calls on selection but this is the strongest squad we could have selected and we are looking forward to the challenge ahead of us.
"For players, coaches and staff, this promises to be the pinnacle of all our careers and one that we are relishing. We know we are representing a proud rugby nation and we are determined to do the nation proud."
