Men’s Rugby League World Cup 2026: group-by-group preview

The 2026 Men's Rugby League World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand, features a new format with 10 teams competing across restructured groups. The quarter-final stage has been removed, leaving only four semi-final spots: two from the four-team Group A, and two from a combined table of Groups B and C. Australia, New Zealand, and England are among the main contenders under this revised competition structure.
