Manchester United will be one of the eight clubs competing in the inaugural Women's World Sevens tournament in May.
The new seven-a-side competition kicks off three days before this year's Women's Champions League final and there is a prize money pool of $5m dollars (£3.76m).
United will be joined in the competition by European clubs Ajax, Benfica and Bayern Munich on 21-23 May in Estoril, Portugal.
The other four participating clubs are yet to be named and there is no indication on whether they will come from outside of Europe.
"This is a really exciting opportunity to be part of something new for the women's game," said United manager Marc Skinner.
