Women’s Origin showdown offers England contenders chance to impress

The RFL today confirm the first of two Women’s Origin fixtures for 2025 on Saturday August 2 – seven days before England face Wales in a Women’s International.

It means Hull KR’s Sewell Group Craven Park will host an Origin double-header on August 2, as the Women’s Origin fixture will follow the second men’s Academy Origin fixture of the year.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire squads for the Women’s Origin will be announced later on in the month – with scope for further additions over the next month.

The second Women’s Origin of 2025 will be played on Sunday October 19 – two weeks after the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final.

Both matches have been arranged by the England Performance Unit as part of the preparations for the Rugby League World Cup in Australia next autumn.

Tickets for the Origin double-header at Sewell Group Craven Park on August 2 are TBC.

The men’s Academy match will kick off at midday, with the Women’s match at 2pm – and both will be streamed live on the RFL YouTube channel.
