Rugby Australia General Manager Women's Rugby Jilly Collins said: "Super Rugby Women's will go to another level in 2025 as our teams compete for both the championship and the right to participate in the first-ever Women's Super Rugby Champions Final.
"As well as a historic event for the women's game, the Final will be a showcase of elite women's Rugby that helps to elevate the game across Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji.
"With the 2025 Women's World Cup kicking off in August, there are so many storylines to play out as players across our competition fight for a spot on the plane to England."
The Super Rugby Women's season begins with a Grand Final rematch between the defending champions Waratahs and Fijian Drua in Sydney.
