It remains to be seen whether Australia’s bid will also include games in nearby Pacific nations and New Zealand, but most of the tournament will be held on Australian soil. The World Cup will again involve concurrent men’s, women’s and wheelchair events, as in 2022 when England hosted it. The eight quarter-finalists from 2022 – England, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Lebanon and Papua New Guinea – have already qualified, leaving only two spots still up for grabs.
