Cronulla will face Super League champions Wigan in the World Club Challenge in February.
The Sharks will travel to the UK to represent the NRL as its premiers alongside six-time NRL champions Brisbane, who will face League Leaders Shield winners Warrington as part of the World Club Series.
Cronulla’s game against Wigan will be played at the Warriors’ DW Stadium in the early hours of February 20 [AEDT].
Sharks coach Shane Flanagan said it was a great chance to put Cronulla on the world stage.
“To have the chance to play over in the UK, for a World Club Championship, is a great opportunity and one that our club is really looking forward to,” he said.
“Then add to that the challenge of playing Wigan, one of the strongest and most famous clubs in the Super League and it will be an outstanding experience."
