Festival of World Cups

The Festival of World Cups is a collection of rugby league world cups usually held as a support series alongside the centrepiece Men's, Women's, and Wheelchair tournaments.

First held in 2008, as part of the Centenary of Rugby League in Australia celebrations, the festival has been a part of every Men's Rugby League World Cup since. The festival has since seen the women's event removed from the proceedings and upgraded to a centrepiece event in 2017, along with the wheelchair event in 2021.

The most recent festival has included the following events:

  • Masters Rugby League World Cup
  • Men's and Women's Armed Forces World Cup
  • Men's and Women's Student World Cup
  • Men's Emerging Nations World Championship
  • Women's Emerging Nations World Championship
  • Men's Police World Cup
  • PDRL World Cup
