World Lacrosse today announced the 42-game schedule for the 2026 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship Division II, set to be hosted by Poland Lacrosse in Wroclaw from July 11-18.
The first edition of the Division II women’s championship will feature 12 teams split into two groups for pool play, followed by playoffs consisting of semifinals and medal games.
All four of World Lacrosse’s Continental Federations are represented with seven teams from the European Lacrosse Federation, three teams from the Asia-Pacific Lacrosse Union, and one team each from the Africa Association of Lacrosse and Pan-American Lacrosse Association. The teams were snake seeded into two pools based on their rankings.
Competition will take place at Pola Marsowe with up to six games per day across two fields. The venue recently held the 2025 European Men’s Lacrosse Championship with a 24-team field.
After an opening ceremony on Friday, July 10, competition will commence on Saturday, July 11 with all 12 teams in action. The host Poland will close out the first day against Mexico at 7 p.m. local time.
