The International Rugby League is returning to Canada after a 15 year hiatus.

The new season will kick off with the Canadian Wolverines playing host to the USA Tomahawks on Sunday, 19th of September in Kingston, at 1:00 pm.

With the newly formed Canada Rugby League fielding its first ever representative side in last month’s ‘War on the Shore’ tournament, the primary focus now is to establish its profile within the country. The league hopes that the reintroduction of international football will achieve that goal.

The  match will be held Sunday, September 19 – 1:00pm at Richardson Memorial Stadium in Ontario, Kingston, at Queen’s University’s west campus [Google map].

Tickets:
West Side (General Admission): $20.00
East Side (General Admission): $15.00

Tickets for the match can be purchased from the Queen’s Box Office (284 Earl St, Kingston) or by phoning 613-533-2500.

UPDATE: The U.S. team managed a slim victory Sunday, when they beat Canada 20 to 16.  For more details, read the article on American Rugby News.
