Major League Rugby, the premier professional rugby league in North America, is proud to announce that it has named Pawtucket, R.I. as the host site for the 2025 MLR Championship. The Quest for the Shield will culminate at Centreville Bank Stadium on Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 2 p.m. (EST) featuring the champions from the Eastern and Western conferences.
Centreville Bank Stadium, a brand-new, state-of-the-art venue, will host the Eastern and Western Conference champions colliding in the most electric match of the year. The recently finished construction on this state-of-the-art, 100 percent electric, 10,500-seat stadium, serves as the home of the United Soccer League’s (USL) Rhode Island FC. Nestled along the scenic Seekonk River, the stadium is the flagship destination for sports and entertainment in the Ocean State, hosting other sporting and community events and concerts year-round.
Since 1975, the New England Rugby Football Union has embodied grit, camaraderie, and unbreakable spirit. We honor the intrepid ruggers who laid the foundation and toast to every player, club, and supporter who’s kept the passion alive. Here’s to the next fifty!
