Rugby League World Cup 2026 is set to bring a full month of international rugby league to Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, with Sydney playing a major role in the tournament.
Across October and November, fans will see the game’s biggest nations compete across men’s, women’s and wheelchair competitions. In Sydney, the action will be split across two major venues: Allianz Stadium in Moore Park and CommBank Stadium in Parramatta.
For travelling fans, that makes Sydney one of the strongest places to base a Rugby League World Cup trip. One city, multiple match days, two major stadiums and plenty of reason to stay a little longer.
Allianz Stadium will host key Rugby League World Cup matches in Moore Park, placing fans close to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, the city and major entertainment precincts.
CommBank Stadium in Parramatta will also host several tournament matches, giving fans another major Sydney venue to plan around. For supporters attending more than one game, staying somewhere well connected can make the trip easier, especially when moving between the airport, Moore Park and Parramatta across the tournament period.
For Rugby League World Cup fans flying into Sydney, Pullman Sydney Airport offers a premium base close to the airport with practical access across the city.
Guests can arrive, check in and settle into the stay before heading out to Allianz Stadium or CommBank Stadium. Between match days, Pullman Sydney Airport gives travellers a polished Mascot base with contemporary accommodation, onsite dining at Mobius Bar & Grill and easy access to Mascot Station for train connections across Sydney.
It is especially useful for interstate, regional and international fans planning a match weekend, travelling with family or attending multiple games across different Sydney venues.
Allianz Stadium is located in Moore Park, around 20-30 minutes from Pullman Sydney Airport by car or rideshare, depending on traffic and event conditions. By public transport, guests can walk to Mascot Station and travel to Central Station, then connect by light rail towards Moore Park. From the Moore Park light rail stop, Allianz Stadium is a short walk through the precinct.
CommBank Stadium is located in Parramatta, with travel from Pullman Sydney Airport usually taking around 40-60 minutes by car or rideshare, depending on traffic. By public transport, guests can travel from Mascot Station towards Central, then connect by train to Parramatta Station. From Parramatta Station, CommBank Stadium is approximately a 15-minute walk through the Parramatta CBD and river precinct.
