The next Rugby League World Cup will take place in the Southern Hemisphere in 2026, with men’s, women’s and wheelchair tournaments to again be played alongside each other.
The IRL will work to determine where best to position the Wheelchair World Cup after RLWC2026.
Greater emphasis will thereby be placed on developing Regional Championships for Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East-Africa and the Americas, to ensure there are genuine pathways for nations to develop and ultimately qualify for future World Cups. The IRL will consult with member nations to design a qualification framework for remaining World Cup berths.
