Last chance to see Women's Rugby World Cup in York
York Community Stadium will host six matches this Summer
Ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, the newly-revealed trophy is back on display in York today.
It will be displayed on Parliament Square today (Monday 2nd June) and it will be taken to York Rugby Club from 6pm tonight to allow local sports teams and organisations to enjoy the visit.
Welcoming the trophy to the city, Cllr Pete Kilbane, Executive Member for Economy and Culture, said:
“We’re thrilled to be hosting several exciting games as part of the Women’s Rugby World Cup later this summer.
“Supporting this leg of the Trophy Tour is a great way to continue our amazing year of sport, and a great opportunity to celebrate the recent news that York is one of England’s most active cities. Our residents have shown how much love and support they have for sport, from grassroots all the way through to professional and international level competition”.
During August and September York Community Stadium will host six matches, including USA Vs Australia, South Africa Vs Italy and New Zealand Vs Spain.
