The Rugby League World Cup is an international rugby league competition contested by national teams of the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF).

The event has been held at irregular intervals since then, with the most recent tournament taking place in 2021.
History
The idea of a Rugby League World Cup was first proposed in the 1930s, but it wasn't until 1954 that the first tournament was held in France. The inaugural competition featured four teams: Australia, France, Great Britain, and New Zealand. The tournament was won by Great Britain, who defeated France in the final.

The format of the Rugby League World Cup has varied over the years. Initially, it was a round-robin tournament, but it has since evolved to include group stages followed by knockout rounds. The number of participating teams has also increased, with the 2021 tournament featuring 16 teams.
