20 teams eligible for 2013 Rugby League World Cup

Events / Sport

The Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) has announced that 20 countries will be given the opportunity to play in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.

The 20 countries will be announced later this year.

Meeting in Singapore this week, the RLIF also ratified a proposal for a 14-country Rugby League World Cup finals with 12 teams qualifying automatically and two coming from qualifying tournaments in the northern and southern hemispheres.

RLIF Chairman Colin Love explained "we are delighted to have ratified this proposal for a 14-nation Rugby League World Cup which was unanimously supported by RLIF delegates.

"This year will see the Four Nations in Australia and New Zealand build on the success of the 2008 Rugby World Cup and 2009 Four Nations and going forward I am confident that in 2013 we will see a tournament that will successfully showcase international Rugby League to a worldwide audience."

The 2013 Rugby League World Cup was awarded to the UK in July 2009.
