Wikipedia - Rugby League Pacific Championship
The Rugby League Pacific Championship is a rugby league tournament for national teams in Oceania. Its inaugural tournament was in 2019. Of the seven Oceanian teams, six compete across two divisions of three teams, while a rotating seventh goes on tour.
History
The tournament was created in 2019 with a two tiered format. The top tier (cup) consisted of Australia, New Zealand and Tonga and the second tier (shield) consisted of Fiji, Samoa and Papua New Guinea.
Australia won the Cup in the inaugural season while Fiji won the shield and got promoted for the 2020 competition.
For the 2020 edition, Cook Islands were scheduled to take Fiji's place in the shield. No team was relegated from the cup as Australia were going to go on a tour of England that year. The competition was scheduled to begin in June and conclude in November, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2023, International Rugby League announced the return of the tournament under the name Pacific Championships as part of a new seven years international calendar.
První ročník turnaje se konal v roce 2019 v Austrálii a zúčastnily se ho týmy Fidži, Papuy-Nové Guineje, Samoy a Tongy. Vítězem se stala Tonga, která ve finále porazila Fidži 24:18.
Druhý ročník turnaje se bude konat v roce 2021 v Novém Zélandu. Očekává se, že se turnaje zúčastní stejné týmy jako v roce 2019, plus případně další týmy z Tichomoří.
Pacific Champions Cup je prestižní turnaj, který poskytuje tichomořským národním týmům příležitost soutěžit na nejvyšší úrovni. Turnaj pomáhá rozvíjet hru rugby league v Tichomoří a inspiruje budoucí generace hráčů.
