The 2019 Oceania Cup is a forthcoming international rugby league tournament between countries of the Oceania region. The competition is set to begin in June and will be contested by six teams.
The competition was announced at the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) congress in November 2018.[1] The draw was released in March and breaks the six teams into two separate pools with promotion and relegation to exist in what is to become an annual tournament. Group A will comprise the top three ranked Pacific nations in Australia, New Zealand and Tonga while Group B will comprise Fiji, Samoa and Papua New Guinea.[2][3]
The winner of Pool B will be promoted to Pool A in 2020 in place of Australia, who are due to travel to Europe for their first Kangaroos tour since 2003.[4]
