ABK Beer Ashes Series
The 2025 ABK Beer Rugby League Ashes Series!
Following a 22-year absence, the famous Ashes Series returned this autumn, with England Men playing a three-Test series against Australia.
Rivalries were finally reignited between the two nations, and the 2025 ABK Beer Ashes Series was 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 were completely SOLD OUT.
After three blood and thunder battles, the Kangaroos would prove too strong to overcome, as England fell to a 3-0 series defeat.
