2003 Rugby League Ashes

The Ashes series, similar to the cricket series of the same name, is a best-of-three series of test matches between Australia and England national rugby league football teams.

Initially contested between Australia and Great Britain, the first series took place in 1908, and went on be to be contested 39 times until 2003, with hosting rights usually alternating between the two countries. Since 1973, Australia has won a record thirteen consecutive Ashes series.

After a hiatus of over 20 years, the Ashes series was revived in 2025. The series will continue as a best-of-three test match series between Australia and this time England national rugby league football teams.
