abstract="Objective: To assess and evaluate injuries sustained during the 2010 Women's Rugby World Cup.  Design: Prospective, cohort.Participants285 women rugby players.  Results: Incidence of match injury was 35.5/1000 player-hours; mean severity was 55.0 days and median severity 9 days. Only one training injury was reported. Knee-ligament injuries were the most common (15%) and resulted in most days lost (43%). The tackle was the cause of most injuries.  Conclusions: The risk of injury in international rugby is significantly lower for women than for men. Further research is required to assess knee-ligament injuries in women's rugby.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
