Rugby League Week in Las Vegas: International Results, Vegas 9s Highlights and Global Growth
Posted on March 25 2026
For EV2 Sportswear, rugby league is about more than what happens on the scoreboard. It is a game built on connection, opportunity and growth, and Rugby League Week in Las Vegas was a strong reminder of that.
Across the week, Las Vegas hosted international fixtures, elite competitions and community tournaments that brought different parts of the rugby league world together in one place. From national teams to grassroots clubs, the event showed why rugby league continues to build momentum well beyond its traditional heartlands.
Led by the NRL, the Las Vegas rugby league festival continues to attract international attention as the game pushes further into new markets. It is not just about one weekend of entertainment. It is about growing the sport, creating new opportunities and giving players, clubs and supporters a bigger stage.
USA Hawks vs Scotland Bravehearts
One of the standout moments of the week was the USA Hawks vs Scotland Bravehearts international triple-header in Henderson, Nevada.
The event featured men’s, women’s and youth national teams all playing on the same day in the United States. That alone made it a significant occasion for international rugby league, with the fixture highlighting both the progress already being made and the opportunity still ahead in the American market.
For both nations, the series was a valuable chance to strengthen programs, test emerging talent and continue building the profile of rugby league on an international level.
Match results
- Men: USA 28–20 Scotland
- Women: USA 14–26 Scotland
- Youth: USA 10–30 Scotland
Congratulations to both the USA and Scotland teams on a great day of rugby league.
Vegas 9s continues to grow
Running alongside the international fixtures, the Vegas 9s once again delivered a fast-paced and exciting tournament atmosphere.
The carnival brought together clubs from across the United States, Australia and other rugby league communities, giving players the chance to compete while helping expose new audiences to the sport. The 9s format remains one of the most accessible and entertaining versions of rugby league, making it an important part of the game’s wider growth.
Just as importantly, the tournament continues to play a real role at club and community level. It gives developing teams meaningful competition, creates stronger international links and helps grow the sport from the ground up.
