The 2024 Pacific Nations Cup referee appointments do not include any officials from the Americas. The tournament will take place in North America, Oceania, and Japan, featuring six teams: Canada, the USA, Japan, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. Referees from Australia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales have been selected by World Rugby.
While making the referee appointments, the focus was on the Rugby World Cup 2027, as well as the 2024 Rugby Championship, to prepare referees for the next Rugby World Cup. In addition to the Rugby World Cup 2027, previous tournaments such as 2019, 2015, 2011, and 2007 also saw no Americas officials appointed to referee matches.
To determine the champion, a Finals Series has been introduced this year where the top two teams from each pool will move on to the semi-finals. The winners of these matches will compete in a Grand Final, while the losing teams will play for third place.
