14 venues across the five competing countries hosted games of the 1975 Rugby League World Cup.

England also played a 'home' game against Wales at Lang Park in Brisbane, Australia.

England winger Keith Fielding created a new record by scoring four tries against a hapless French team at Bordeaux.

In this match Jim Mills, the Wales prop, was banned for the rest of the season after an altercation.

The Kangaroos showed they were worthy World Champions with a comprehensive 25–0 win at Headingley in front of a disappointing crowd of 7,680 which was over 11,000 less than had attended the 1970 World Cup final, between Great Britain and Australia, at the same venue.
