The RFU is proud to be hosting the World Rugby U20 Championship in June this year. The tournament is a great showcase for future stars of world rugby and we know that the North West of England will give the twelve competing nations a warm welcome.
The tournament will be played across five match days at two venues: the AJ Bell Stadium and Manchester City’s Academy Stadium, between 7 and 25 June.
With tickets as little as £5 for children and £10 for adults, there is plenty of opportunity for supporters to get behind our talented young rugby players as they look to pick up their third World Rugby U20s title.
As a club we have been given our own login area so that members can book tickets without having to pay a booking fee. You can access it using the link below. The password for our club is PRESTON and must be entered in capital letters.
