The newest of the venues for Rugby World Cup 2025, York Community Stadium opened in 2020, and has hosted pool phase and knockout matches in the 2021 Women’s Rugby League World Cup.

It is the home ground of York City football club, which plays in the National League.

An impressive 100ft mural adorns the West Stand, designed by the University of York, which captures scenic locations from around the city including Clifford’s Tower, the famous city walls and York Minster. It also features York City FC and York City Knights, with players from both teams depicted within the vibrant artwork.

Harlequins’ Yorkshire-born England star Ellie Kildunne, said: “We’re really excited to bring rugby to York Community Stadium in 2025. As a Yorkshire girl, I’m looking forward to international rugby coming to the county and helping the game grow in the region.”
