The NRL have announced WIN Stadium as the location for the 2019 Trans-Tasman Double Header Test matches to be held in Wollongong on Friday 25th October.
Via a media release on Monday morning, NRL CEO Todd Greenberg expressed his delight at having international rugby league back in the Illawarra.
โRugby league has a home in the Illawarra, so weโre delighted to bring the pinnacle of rugby league back to Wollongong for the first time in five years,โ Greenberg told NRL.com.
โWe recorded one of the best-ever attendances for WIN Stadium the last time Test Match Rugby League was played in Wollongong.
โSo Iโve got no doubt the local support will be strong and compliment those travelling fans who canโt wait to be at the Stadium come October 25th.โ
Both the womenโs and menโs matches will be broadcast live nationally across the Nine Network, Fox Sports and NRL Live Pass, as well as Sky NZ in New Zealand.
