The Rugby League World Cup kicks off in just 50 days with UK venues today celebrating what is set to be the sport’s biggest, best and most inclusive tournament.

BUY TICKETS: Prices start from just £2.21 for concessions, with family of four tickets for less than £25 and more than 80% of all tickets priced below £50. Tickets are only sold on the Official RLWC2021 website – visit www.RLWC2021.com.

Rugby League World Cup 2021, delayed for a year, will be the first time ever that the men’s, women’s and wheelchair competitions have been staged simultaneously.

Both the women’s and wheelchair competitions will be contested by two groups of four teams, while the men’s tournament will see 16 teams compete across four groups.

All three tournaments will take place across 21 iconic venues in England and it will culminate with the first-ever double header final in UK sport history – with the women’s and men’s finals taking place, back-to-back, at Manchester’s Old Trafford, on November 19.

It all kicks off with hosts England welcoming Samoa in the men’s tournament at St James’ Park, on Saturday, October 15, at 2.30pm.

Yorkshire will stage a tantalising fixture the same evening between Australia and Fiji at Headingley, at 7.30pm.

The women’s opener, also at Headingley, is set to break the record for the highest-ever attendance for a women’s rugby league match in the Northern Hemisphere.
