IRL World Ranking Tests

Fixtures

Three Test matches in fourteen days. Every result counts toward the IRL World Ranking.

TEST 1
JUL 02
Canada Wolverines vs Norway Vikingene — July 2, 2026, Lillestrøm

Canada Wolverines (#29) vs Norway (#21)

Kick-off: 6:00 PM · Vigernesjordet, Fetveien 254, Lillestrøm, Norway

The tour opener. Norway sit five places above Canada in the current IRL World Rankings, and a home crowd at Vigernesjordet will make this an early test of the squad's cohesion after assembly in Lillestrøm.

Canada Wolverines (#29) vs Scotland (#27)

A day-trip Test from the squad's Manchester base — the closest-ranked opponent of the tour, with the Wolverines and Scotland separated by just two places in the world rankings.

Canada Wolverines (#29) vs Netherlands (#11)

Kick-off: 6:00 PM · Dordrecht Rugby Club, Rotterdam, Netherlands
