The 2025 Women's Challenge Cup (sponsored as the Betfred Women's Challenge Cup) is the 13th staging of the Rugby Football League's cup competition for women's rugby league clubs.
Although the group stage plus knockout rounds format is retained, the number of teams in the competition has been reduced from 16 to 12.
The group winners and runners-up will advance to the knockout rounds.
The semi-finals will be double headers with the semi-finals of the men's tournament on the weekend of 10/11 May 2025, and the final will be played at Wembley Stadium, London on 7 June 2025 alongside the finals of the men's competition and the 1895 Cup.
St Helens, winners in 2024, are seeded together with Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors and York Valkyrie.
