The Rugby League World Cup 2021 comes to the shores of England this autumn as organisers get set to deliver the men’s, women’s and wheelchair tournaments simultaneously for the first time in the history of the competition.
Manchester United are proud to host the men’s and women’s double-header final of the Rugby League World Cup 2021 this year (rescheduled from 2021), here at the Theatre of Dreams.
