Festival of World Cups

The Festival of World Cups is a collection of rugby league world cups usually held as a support series alongside the centrepiece Men's, Women's, and Wheelchair tournaments.

First held in 2008, as part of the Centenary of Rugby League in Australia celebrations, the festival has been a part of every Men's Rugby League World Cup since. The festival has since seen the women's event removed from the proceedings and upgraded to a centrepiece event in 2017, along with the wheelchair event in 2021.

The most recent festival has included the following events:


 * Masters Rugby League World Cup
 * Men's and Women's Armed Forces World Cup
 * Men's and Women's Student World Cup
 * Men's Emerging Nations World Championship
