“We are proud to revive one of the great Rugby League traditions with the first Ashes series and Kangaroo Tour of England in 22 years. The ARLC believes in the international game and the Commission was behind this historic tour to support the growth of the game in the North,” V’landys said announcing the news on Wednesday evening.
“Kangaroo Tours are an iconic part of Rugby League folklore and have always delivered thrilling contests. The current generation of Kangaroos players have never experienced the magic of a Kangaroo Tour, and I’m delighted that they will have a chance to cement their own legacy alongside the greats of the past.”
While NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said the news will undoubtedly have fans on both sides of the globe licking their lips.
“The Ashes has such a storied history, with so many legendary moments that make up the fabric of rugby league across multiple generations. A Kangaroo Tour unites the rugby league southern and northern hemispheres and is an incredible opportunity to grow the international game.”
The 2025 Ashes will kick off with the first Test at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday 25 October.
