It’s shaping up to be a brilliant year on the international front, with a multitude of events all over the world.
Rugby league has often neglected the international game but that looks set to change this year and next, on the road to the Rugby League World Cup at the end of 2026.
And with almost 100 international games across the men’s, women’s and wheelchair disciplines in 2025, there’s plenty to be excited about.
Here’s everything that’s on the agenda and every single game – and we’ll update this list all the way through the year!
