The tournament was again being organised by the International Rugby Board (IRB) as opposed to the host union, and included five matches for all teams played on 20, 24, 28 August and 1 and 5 September. In May 2009 it was announced that the semi-final, 3rd place play off and final would take place at The Stoop and not Twickenham as had previously been suggested. Pool games were held at the Surrey Sports Park in Guildford. Interest in the tournament was far higher than had been anticipated. It was broadcast to 127 countries and all 2,500 seats at the opening two days of pool games were sold out, as was the third day despite the capacity being raised to 3,200. The semi-finals attracted over 6,000 spectators, while the final drew a crowd of 13,253IRB Statistics https://web.archive.org/web/20110227031635/http://www.rwcwomens.com/news/newsid%3D2040203.html 27 February 2011 – a world record for a women's rugby international – and well as a worldwide TV audience of (according to IRB figureshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8A0-lN6F1Y&feature=player_embedded https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211214/d8A0-lN6F1Y 14 December 2021 live France to host Women's RWC 2014 YouTube 30 June 2011 30 October 2012) half a million.

At the end of the pool stage, the teams in a pool were ranked according to their cumulative match points. If two or more teams had been level, the following criteria would have been used in this order until one of the teams could be determined as the higher ranked: the winner of the match between the two tied teams; the team with the best points difference; the team with the best tries difference; the team with more scored points; the team with more scored tries; a toss of coin.http://www.rwcwomens.com/home/rules/index.html Rules of the tournament 30 August 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100827185939/http://www.rwcwomens.com/home/rules/index.html 27 August 2010 dead Ranking finals The teams were seeded based on the position in which they finished in their respective pools and the points scored during the pool stage. The three pool winners and the best runner-up went through to the semi-finals. The other two runners-up and the best two 3rd-place finishers went into a sort of a competition for 5th place, whilst the bottom three teams competed for 9th place. The ranking finals were set as it follows: 1st seed vs 4th seed; 2nd seed vs 3rd seed; 5th seed vs 8th seed; 6th Seed vs 7th seed; 9th seed vs 12th seed; 10th seed vs 11th seed. Finals If teams had been tied at full-time, the winner would have been determined through a 10-minutes extra time (the first team to score any points would have been declared the winner) or eventually a kicking competition (five players from each team would have kicked from three different points on the 22-metre line).
