Teams and qualification

The previous World Cup qualification cycle allowed for promotion of the League 2 champion to the Super League. However, the scrapping of that tournament meant that the previous League 2 champion, Scotland, remained in this competition with Netherlands relegated from the Super League.[2]

They were joined by the 4 remaining top 5 finishers from the previous League 2 and two teams from the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off.

That tournament resulted in Canada being promoted, with Papua New Guinea relegated to the Challenge League. [3]
