England Saxons will return to U.S soil this summer to face Russia and the USA Eagles in the Churchill Cup (June 9-19).
The Saxons will face newcomers Russia and last year's opponents USA in the pool stages at Infinity Park, Denver before heading to the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J for the tripleheader finals day on June 19.
In 2009 the Saxons recorded victories against Argentina Jaguars (28-20) and The Eagles (56-17) on the way to the final which saw Ireland A take the trophy, beating England 49-22 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Terry Burwell, Churchill Cup Tournament Director, said: "We are delighted to take Churchill Cup VIII back to Denver and to add Harrison to the 10 other cities in the Canada and USA who have hosted the tournament since 2003.
"Infinity Park is a top grade dedicated rugby ground and we are looking forward to the pool stages there before a bumper finals day at a superb new facility in the Red Bull Arena."
Stuart Lancaster's Saxons' have had a successful start to their season. In January they put their Churchill Cup final disappointment behind them by turning the tables on Ireland with a 17-13 win at Bath's Recreation Ground.
And a week later they travelled to Treviso where they faced a very physical Italy A side to win 31-5.
The Ireland match marked the first outing for a new coaching team consisting of Lancaster, Andy Farrell and Simon Hardy and the three will return for June's tournament.
