Four Matches, Four Parts of the Pathway
| Match | Announced Participants | Kickoff |
|---|---|---|
| Senior men’s international | Canada vs Jamaica’s Reggae Warriors | 6pm local time |
| A-team representative match | Canadian Selects vs Jamaica Exodus | Not supplied |
| Under-19 international | Canada U19s vs Jamaica U19s | Not supplied |
| Masters | Canada vs Jamaica | Not supplied |
The festival brings senior international competition together with development and Masters rugby league. Only the senior match was given a kickoff time in the release; it does not contain the complete running order, squads or a ticket-purchase link.
A First Away U19 International for Jamaica
Canada Rugby League Association president John Cameron welcomed the opportunity to host Jamaica’s U19s for the first time. He said Jamaica had helped Canada develop its U19 programme, giving the match an additional connection beyond the senior rivalry.
Jamaica rugby league director Romeo Monteith described the trip as the country’s first away U19 international. He said Jamaica’s high-school championship had involved hundreds of boys each year since 2009, with U19 international matches giving those players a further target.
The representative game between Canadian Selects and Jamaica Exodus adds another opportunity for the countries’ amateur player pools. Monteith pointed to Brampton’s Jamaican community as a potential source of support for the visitors.
Jamaica’s Masters Debut
The announcement describes Canada as already having an established Masters element for players aged 35 and over. Jamaica’s match would be its Masters international debut, with the occasion also used to launch its domestic Masters programme.
That makes the festival more than a single first-team fixture: it links youth development, the senior amateur pool and continued participation for older players on the same day.
Venue and Ticket Information
The release places all four matches at Terry Fox Stadium in Brampton. It lists admission for the day at $10, but does not specify the currency, purchase route or any age-based concessions. Readers should confirm those details with the organisers before making travel plans.
ERL says the venue previously hosted the inaugural IRL Women’s Rugby League World Series in October 2025. The announcement also mentions a schools programme supporting the festival, without publishing its timetable.
