Where is the RLWC taking place?

The 2021 Rugby League World Cup is taking place in Englandwith the nation having previously last hosted the tournament in the 2013 edition.

For the first time since 1995 however, it will be solely held in the country rather than with the honour shared with multiple nations. England have hosted the tournament twice since then – in 2000 and 2013.

On the former occasion however, it was a joint affair between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Francewhile on the latter, it was just officially England and Wales – though Ireland and France both hosted matches again too.
