Rugby Football Club Los Angeles (RFCLA) is thrilled to take part in a landmark doubleheader event on Saturday, April 26, at Wallis Annenberg Stadium, UCLA. LOS ANGELES, WA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This historic day will feature the intense Cali Cup Major League Rugby (MLR) rivalry between RFCLA and San Diego Legion, followed by an international clash between the USA Rugby Womenâs Eagles and Japan, kicking off their crucial 2025 Rugby World Cup preparations. The matches mark the first of six major fixtures in the USA Rugby Eaglesâ biggest-ever home event schedule, as announced today by USA Rugby, World Rugby, and TEG Sport. With 12 international matches on U.S. soil this year, this series cements the United States as a major player on rugbyâs global calendar, fueling long-term investment and fan growth in advance of the 2031 and 2033 Rugby World Cups. The Womenâs Eagles are laser-focused on success at the Rugby World Cup 2025 in England, while the Menâs Eagles continue their push toward RWC 2027 qualification in Australia. This massive home schedule offers American rugby fans, sports fans and Ilona Maher (?) fans unprecedented access to the national teams and boosts rugbyâs impact across the country. But the big question on everyoneâs lips is, âWill Ilona Maher take the pitch?â Now that her time with Bristol Bears has ended, signs point to yes. Maherâs presence would be a huge boost for the Womenâs Eagles as they kick off their campaign against Japan in Los Angeles. âThe U.S. is a rapidly growing rugby market with strong commercial and hosting interest ahead of the 2031 and 2033 Rugby World Cups,â said World Rugby Chair Brett Robinson. âThis test series reflects our ambition to build a sustainable competition calendar that enhances performance, attracts new audiences, and fuels rugbyâs growth.â EVENT DETAILS: Saturday, April 26, 2025 Wallis Annenberg Stadium, UCLA, Los Angeles - Cali Cup: RFCLA vs. San Diego Legion - USA Rugby Womenâs Eagles vs. Japan RFCLA fans can purchase prorated Season Memberships now, which include all five remaining home matches of the 2025 season.
