Japan Women's Rugby Team
One of 12 teams that contested the inaugural tournament in Wales in 1991, Japan will make their fifth Rugby World Cup appearance in New Zealand.
The nation appeared at three of the first four Rugby World Cups but then went a decade and a half without qualifying for the showpiece tournament.
Never finishing higher than eighth, they'll have their sights set on improving that after wins over Australia and Fiji in May 2022.
