Every Rugby League World Cup attendance as Wigan Warriors’ ground makes history and Warrington Wolves’ stadium impresses

The quarter-finals of the Rugby League World Cup have been and gone and they attracted a pretty impressive accumulative crowd.

In total, over 50,000 fans attended quarter-finals this weekend. Wigan Warriors’ DW Stadium was home to 23,179 as England vs Papua New Guinea set a new quarter-final attendance record.

The next best attended quarter-final was Tonga vs Samoa at Warrington Wolves’ Halliwell Jones Stadium with 12,674 fans.

Australia vs Lebanon at Huddersfield Giants’ John Smith’s Stadium had 8,206 fans watching whilst at Hull FC’s MKM Stadium there were 7,080 fans in attendance so all were above the average of 6,000 we’ve seen throughout the tournament.

England vs Papua New Guinea is the third highest attended match of the tournament after England vs Samoa in game one and England vs France as it beats out England vs Greece last week.

The England games are the top four whilst Tonga vs Samoa yesterday was the third highest attended game of the tournament outside of England games after Australia vs Fiji and New Zealand vs Ireland both of which were at Leeds Rhinos’ Headingley Stadium.

Australia vs Lebanon was the sixth best attended game of the tournament after Papua New Guinea vs Tonga at St Helens’ Totally Wicked Stadium and Tonga vs Cook Islands at the Riverside Stadium.
