Rugby League World Cup 2026 Travel Packages: Official Providers
Only five companies are officially allowed to sell Rugby League World Cup 2026 travel packages, and plenty of fans don’t know that.
If you’re travelling from interstate, New Zealand or the UK, a package can sort your tickets and hotel in one go and save you juggling bookings across different cities.
But which packages are official, what do they include, and is a package worth it?
Official RLWC 2026 travel packages are sold only by five Authorised Travel Providers, led by NRL Travel, and they bundle official match tickets with accommodation and exclusive experiences.
Package prices depend on the hotel and matches you choose, so there isn’t one simple price list for everyone.
Below, you’ll find every authorised provider, what packages include, and how to avoid unofficial sellers and fake deals.

| Provider | Based in | Website |

What’s Included in an Official Travel Package?
Official packages combine guaranteed match tickets with accommodation near the venue.
Many also add exclusive experiences and on-the-ground event support, so you have help if plans change.
NRL Travel points out that there are technically no RLWC 2026 “tours”. Instead, packages are built around the matches and hotels you pick.
Browse the current offers on the official NRL Travel RLWC 2026 page.
Travel Packages for UK Fans
Three of the five authorised providers are UK companies, which makes it easier for England fans to travel.
Glory Days offers premium match experiences covering England v Tonga, England v France and England v PNG, plus Tonga v Samoa, both semi-finals and the Final.
Some UK providers can also arrange flights. Follow England’s team news on our England World Cup squad page.
Should You Book a Package or Do It Yourself?
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Official travel package | Overseas or interstate fans who want tickets and hotels sorted in one booking |
| Book it yourself | Local fans or budget travellers, with tickets from $19 AUD plus your own accommodation |
Packages make most sense for the big games that could sell out. The Christchurch double-header, for example, is already nearing a sell-out.
If you’d rather book separately, our RLWC 2026 tickets guide shows where to buy match tickets safely.
Which Host Cities Should You Plan Around?
| City | Why go |
|---|---|
| Sydney | The opening match on 15 October and a semi-final |
| Brisbane | The Men’s and Women’s Finals on 15 November |
| Perth | England’s first two double-headers |
| Wollongong | Every Wheelchair World Cup match |
| Christchurch | New Zealand’s only home match, on 25 October |
| Port Moresby | PNG’s two home World Cup matches |
