FORT WORTH, TX – Premier Women’s Rodeo (PWR) is excited to announce new international partnerships in Australia, creating opportunities for Australian cowgirls to qualify for the 2027 PWR Championship, May 13–16, at Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas. As part of its expanded international qualification opportunities, PWR has partnered with Top Gun Breakaway Roping , Australia’s largest breakaway roping event, taking place January 15–17, 2027, at White Park Complex in Scone, New South Wales. The event will feature a 10-head breakaway roping competition with $3,000 in added money. Champions in the Open, Rookie and Novice divisions will each receive a Partnership Exemption to compete at the 2027 PWR Championship. “This is an exciting opportunity for Australian breakaway ropers to showcase their talent on one of the biggest stages in the world,” said Christine Gall, Founder and Promoter of Top Gun Breakaway Roping . “As Australia’s biggest breakaway roping event, Top Gun has always been about growing and elevating our sport, and this partnership with the PWR opens the door for ropers of all levels who wouldn’t normally get this chance.” Additionally, PWR is proud to recognize three outstanding Australian bronc riders who have earned Partnership Exemptions through the World’s Richest $10,000 Ladies Bronc Ride at Warwick Rodeo & Global International Bronc Match . Charli Simmonds, Tilly Pryor and Hayley Rose have secured opportunities to compete at the 2027 PWR Championship. “Women’s rodeo is growing around the world, and we want Premier Women’s Rodeo to be at the forefront of creating opportunities for these incredible athletes,” said Linsay Rosser Sumpter, Commissioner of Premier Women’s Rodeo . “Providing opportunities to athletes in Australia is about more than bringing international competitors to Fort Worth. It’s about opening doors, building relationships and giving talented cowgirls, regardless of where they call home, the opportunity to compete on a world-class stage. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome these Australian athletes into the PWR family.” These partnerships mark an exciting step in PWR’s continued commitment to growing women’s rodeo on an international stage, connecting talented cowgirls across the globe and creating new pathways to compete at the highest level.
