Prices start from €5 (£4/$6.75) for the games, which will be played across two venues.

The semi-finals, bronze final and final will all take place in Paris, in the Stade Jean-Bouin.

"It really comes to life when fans can buy tickets, and start to plan their trips to Paris in August to see some great Rugby at the Stade Jean Bouin," said International Rugby Board chairman Bernard Lapasset

Pool games will be played at the Centre National du Rugby in Marcoussis, also in Paris.

Tickets for the semi-finals will cost no more than €20 (£16.50/$27.00), and €25 (£21/$34) for the final.

Match days for the 12-team tournament are due to take place on August 1, 5, 9, 13 and 17 - with the latter two days for the semi-finals and final respectively.

French Rugby League Federation (FFR) President Pierre Camou said: "With the Women's Rugby World Cup, the FFR's objective is to organise a high level competition, but also to promote women's rugby.

"That is why we want to offer fans a great feast of women's rugby over two exceptional days that will close this magnificent competition."
