Organisers have yet to confirm which nation will host, with a decision expected by the end of the year as the men’s, women’s and wheelchairs tournaments will run together
The Rugby League World Cup has been postponed for a second time in succession – but the Ashes will return in 2025.
An IRL board meeting in Singapore has agreed to a new calendar to 2030 aimed at capitalising on the growth of the international game.
Amid that, after France’s withdrawal from hosting the 2025 World Cup in May, the tournament has now been put back to 2026 and will take place in the southern hemisphere.
However, organisers have yet to confirm which nation will host. A decision is expected by the end of the year although the men’s, women’s and wheelchairs tournaments will run together.
