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
Women's Emerging Nations World Championship
Men's Police World Cup
PDRL World Cup
