0 Comments

The United Kingdom is the hot tip to host the 2021 World Cup with submissions to be accepted up until the end of June.

South Africa were an outside chance of gaining the hosting rights for 2017 before Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea eventually won through.

“The bid documentation provides the criteria and the requirements upon which submissions will be considered for the 2021 World Cup,” RLIF CEO David Collier said.

“The deadline for submissions will be the end of June 2016 and we expect to announce the successful bidder in the fourth quarter of 2016.

“The Rugby League World Cup is the marquee event for our sport and requires world-class facilities and infrastructure to provide the stage for the world’s best players to deliver the highest quality of rugby for all our supporters and for the nations participating.”
