The biggest, best and most inclusive Rugby League World Cup in history is coming to York in just a few weeks’ time, and last week marked a celebration of the tournament in the historic city as part of The National Lottery Trophies Tour.

 

On Friday 7th October, all three of the men’s, women’s and wheelchair trophies were proudly displayed in four lucky primary schools. Special assemblies were held at Archbishop of York’s Church of England Junior School, Knavesmire Primary, St Lawrence’s Primary and Yearsley Grove Primary, in which students were able to learn more about the world cup games being staged at LNER Community Stadium. There was also a special guest appearance from Rug-bee, the official RLWC2021 mascot.

 

The LNER Community Stadium will host six women’s group games as well as both women’s semi-finals. The city will also be the team base for New Zealand (Men’s) and Australia, New Zealand, France, Cook Islands (Women’s) teams.

 

Mick Hogan, Revenue Director for RLWC2021, said: “We are just over a week away now until the tournament kicks off, and it was fantastic to have such a brilliant welcome in York. There’s lots to look forward to for residents in the coming weeks, with some huge women’s clashes set to take place at the LNER Community Stadium. As momentum continues to grow, we are seeing a real increase in ticket sales, so make sure you act now to secure yours and get ready to watch the world’s best rugby league players in action.”
