The Rugby League World Cup in 2030 will take place in the USA and the Pacific Islands, with specific host cities yet to be announced. Both men's and women's tournaments will occur simultaneously, expanding the competition's reach to new audiences.
International Rugby League (IRL) aims to enhance interest in the sport, with plans to increase the men's tournament from 10 to 12 teams and the women's from 8 to 10. The format is still under discussion, and the event will coincide with the 2030 Wheelchair World Cup in France.
