. It appears that some girls may have played the game as part of their school teams in the 19th century - the earliest record of any female playing Rugby at any level has been traced to Portora Royal School in Enniskillen, Ireland.
Emily Valentine's brothers were responsible for the formation of the school's first rugby team in c1884
However, during the First World War some women's charity games were organised, the most well documented taking place at Cardiff Arms Park on 16 December 1917, when Cardiff Ladies beat Newport Ladies 6-0 Maria Eley played full-back for Cardiff and went on to become probably the oldest women's rugby player before she died in Cardiff in 2007 at the age of 106. Interestingly the Cardiff team (who all worked for Hancock's a local brewery) all wore protective headgear, which predates their male counterparts by some decades.

When did women play rugby?
Women have played rugby since the late 19th century, with the first recorded women's match taking place in England in 1887. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that the sport gained more recognition and organization, leading to the establishment of women's rugby clubs and competitions. The Rugby Football Union officially recognized women's rugby in 1991, paving the way for international competitions and the growth of the sport globally. Today, women's rugby continues to thrive, with increasing participation and visibility.
How much do professional women rugby players get paid?
I'm afraid that women rugby players do not get paid, therefore they are not professional as it seems they do not command a large enough audience. They are allowed to claim expenses but must do it for the love of the game & country.
