See the Women's Rugby World Cup trophy up close this Sunday and Monday
The newly-revealed Women's Rugby World Cup trophy will be available to view in York this Sunday (June 1) and coming Monday (June 2) as part of a special 'Trophy Tour.'
A specially-branded Land Rover Defender will transport the trophy into the city for public viewing over the two days, when it will be displayed in Parliament Square.
On the evening of the Monday, the trophy will be transported to York Rugby Club, where it will be available, from 6pm, for local sports teams and organisations to see.
Councillor Pete Kilbane, executive member for economy and culture, said: "We're thrilled to be hosting several exciting games as part of the Women's Rugby World Cup later this summer.
"Supporting this leg of the Trophy Tour is a great way to continue our amazing year of sport."
Residents and visitors can view the trophy in Parliament Square between 10.30am and 3.30pm on the Sunday, or between 10am and 3pm on the Monday, with no need to book.
York Community Stadium will host six matches of the Women's Rugby World Cup during August and September, including USA vs Australia, South Africa vs Italy, and New Zealand vs Spain.
