Rugby League World Cup Qualifiers
The Rugby League World Cup qualification is the process a national team goes through to qualify for the Rugby League World Cup Finals.
Qualifying rounds were first introduced for the 2000 World Cup to reflect the recent expansion of the tournament.
From 2017 hosts and teams reaching the knockout rounds of the previous tournament automatically qualify for the next. The remaining spots are achieved through regional qualification tournaments, split between the four International Rugby League confederation Asia-Pacific, Americas, Europe, and Middle East-Africa.
