2024 World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup

The 2024 World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup[a] is the seventeenth Pacific Nations Cup (PNC) tournament, and the first with a new format design.[2][3] Similar to the 2019 tournament, the same teams play each other,[2][3] with the same round-robin structure. However, unlike 2019, the 2024 edition has a finals series following the pool stage (hosted in Japan), to decide the champion.[2][4][5]
