IRL pivots to Pacific for 2030 Rugby League World Cup
Decision expected to bring Test matches to the United States
The International Rugby League has selected the Pacific as the host region for the 2030 World Cup, a move that will likely take top-level Test matches to the United States for the first time since 2018. The decision follows a meeting of the IRL board and congress, after England and France had been close to being locked in for hosting rights.
