The Rugby League World Cup

From October 15 until November 19 this year, the Rugby League World Cup will make a triumphant return to the UK after a number of challenges prevented both Australia and New Zealand from participating and their subsequent withdrawals leading to the postponement of the tournament. The 16th installment of the Rugby League World Cup will see 16 teams compete, an increase of two from previous years, and will run in parity with Women’s and Wheelchair tournaments.

World Gymnastics Championships

The World Gymnastics Championships will take over Liverpool from October 29 until November 6, 2022.

With China, the United States, Japan, and Romania amongst the countries holding the most wins, fans are already anticipating who will take home the crown at this year’s games.

It will mark the 13th edition of the tournament and the second time it has taken place since the decision to expand to 16 teams was made.
