The Women's Rugby World Cup trophy will be the main attraction at Sunderland AFC's pre-match fan zone next month.
The trophy will be part of a rugby-themed takeover of the fan zone on International Women's Day, Saturday, March 8.
Families attending the fan zone at the Beacon of Light before the Sunderland v Cardiff City match will be able to take part in a range of rugby-inspired activities.
Councillor Beth Jones, cabinet member for communities, culture, and tourism at Sunderland City Council, said: "We're thrilled to have secured the Women's Rugby World Cup trophy for our fan zone takeover on International Women's Day.
"With just months to go until England's Red Roses kick off the opening match of the Women's Rugby World Cup at the Stadium of Light on Friday, August 22, the fan zone event is a great opportunity to showcase everything rugby has to offer.
"Even if you don’t know anything about the sport, it's a fantastic way to immerse yourself in all things rugby."
Activities will include walking rugby, fitness sessions with a rugby twist, children's activities, tag rugby, and rugby skills demonstrations from local clubs.
There will also be information about the new T1 rugby offer coming soon to the city.
Councillor Jones added: "This is a brilliant chance to come along and find out all about our Active Sunderland community rugby offer and learn more about our fantastic local rugby clubs.
"You'll also be able to find out how to get tickets for the England v USA opening match.
"And, you can even have your photo taken with the Women's Rugby World Cup trophy."
The fan zone takeover will take place from 12.30pm to 2.30pm on Saturday, March 8, with all activities free and open to match-goers and non-match-goers alike.
Girls from Houghton Rugby Club's under-12s team will also demonstrate their rugby skills on the pitch at the Stadium of Light during half-time of the Cardiff City game.
The fan zone takeover is being organised by the RFU, University of Sunderland, local rugby clubs, the Foundation of Light, SAFC, Sunderland BID, Newcastle Falcons, and Sunderland City Council.
