being a host town to 3 x Rugby League World Cup games to be played
at the Keepmoat Stadium and host a participating nation within
Doncaster for a 3-week period during the tournament. The event will
commence October 2021 and a bid team has been constructed to drive
this project. This is a major event for the town and an opportunity

sporting events plus promote Doncaster as a major tourist and
leisure destination of the North of England.
