Rugby League World Cup 2021 is today celebrating 50 days to go until the biggest, best and most inclusive tournament kicks off at St James’ Park as England welcome Samoa men on October 15.
Between the tournament kicking off in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and concluding in Manchester, the Rugby League World Cup 2021 will have visited 21 different venues, including our very own Emirates Stadium.
On November 12, for the first time ever a sport other than football will be played at our home, as we host the second men’s semi-final, with further action happening in London with the Copper Box Arena hosting Group A of the wheelchair tournament, featuring England, Australia, Ireland, and Spain.
