ABK Beer Ashes Series

It’s almost time for the 2025 ABK Beer Rugby League Ashes Series!

Following a 22-year absence, the famous Ashes Series finally returns this autumn, with England Men playing a three-Test series against Australia.

The ABK Beer Ashes Series will be played on three consecutive Saturday afternoons – October 25, November 1 and November 8 – at three iconic venues, Wembley Stadium in London, Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium and AMT Headingley Stadium in Leeds.

 The latter two venues are completely SOLD OUT.

Rivalries are set to be reignited between the two nations, and it’s a moment in history you simply cannot miss!

The Rugby League Ashes is a series played between England and Australia and will get underway this month, with the two hemisphere giants clashing under the lights of three iconic venues in the UK.

The two sides have not played each other in a competitive match since the 2017 World Cup Final, when Australia beat England 6-0.

The inaugural Ashes series dates back to 1908.

The most recent Ashes series took place in 2003, with the Kangaroos winning 3-0 on English soil after three tightly fought, blood and thunder battles.

In Ashes series history, Great Britain have won 19 and Australia have won 20 – including the last 13 consecutive series dating from 1970 to 2003.

The Lions haven’t won an Ashes series for 55 years but have come excruciatingly close on multiple occasions.

The Ashes has a rich and storied history, with so many legendary moments and players etched in Rugby League folklore, that are reminisced across multiple generations… 

This the first time the series will be contested by England and not Great Britain.
