The 2025 Super Rugby Women's season was the eighth season of the top-flight Australian and Fijian women's rugby union competition, Super Rugby. The season fixtures were released on 20 November 2024, consisting of five rounds (two matches per round), and a Finals series to decide the season champions. The season fixture had a notable admission of the former team based in Victoria, the Melbourne Rebels. Rugby Australia (RA) announced in May 2024 that the men's team would be axed from the men's competition following the 2024 season. It was revealed later in the year (October 2024) that the women's team would also be axed.
It was also revealed that the 2025 Super Rugby Women's season champions would play the champions of the New Zealand domestic champions (Super Rugby Aupiki) following the conclusion of the season, also known as the Super Rugby Champions Final. It will be the first edition of the new competition.
The New South Wales Waratahs are the defending champions.
