For the first time since 2003, Australia will head to England and defend it’s Ashes title in a three series test against Great Britain.
This will be a great Test series and the first time Australia will be back on English soil since beating the Samoans in the Rugby League World Cup final in 2022. No matter what, you can be assured that this long standing rivalry (beginning in 1908!) will produce the most passionate and hard-hitting matches we have seen in a long time.
We have three exciting tours to suit all budgets and time frames. You can find out full details below.
Tour Host James Graham
We are excited to have the English, NRL and Super League star James Graham join us as tour host for the 2025 Kangaroo tour. A great bloke and renowned funny guy, James will happily get a rib into his fellow countrymen, especially when surrounded by mad Kangaroo fans.
James is the successor to two rugby league greats we have had as tour hosts over the last 25 years – Artie Beetson and Tommy Raudonikis. For those who joined our tours with Artie and Tommy, they will always cherish the memories spent with these two great legends. James has big shoes to fill but we are sure of both his character and love for our game, he will be a worthy heir to those great men.

Tour Options
The wonderful thing about Europe is that there is only an hour or two between some magnificent cities. The other remarkable thing is the diversity of cultures and people in Europe.
At the Rugby League Experience we firmly believe that Aussies coming all the way from their homeland should be given the opportunity of seeing more of Europe during their tour. So traditionally, we have offered mini breaks during our tours so our supporters can see these diverse cultures.
With our 4-day options we have picked 6 cities that show the diversity we have spoken about. All of them are different is their own way.
We have sorted your airport transfer, flights, hotels and provided some experiences for you to get an appreciation of the city you have chosen. We can also help you in the arrangements of travel to anywhere else you may wish to go in those 4 days.
