 < 2000

The 2018 Emerging Nations World Championship (ENWC) will be a rugby league tournament held for Tier Two and Tier Three nations, the third edition of the Rugby League Emerging Nations Tournament. It is scheduled to take place in November 2018.

Several nations that had not qualified, or were not eligible to qualify, for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup planned to contest an Emerging Nations tournament in Sydney in 2017 alongside the World Cup. However this tournament did not get support from the Rugby League International Federation, and did not go ahead.

On 29 March 2017, the Rugby League International Federation announced that Australia will be host the tournament in 2018. The two-week-long tournament will be held in Western Sydney, New South Wales with games taking place in Windsor, St Mary’s and Cabramatta.

Ten teams are already confirmed for the tournament by March 2017. The Solomon later confirmed its participation. Each team will be required to be entered by the RLIF Member Nation and will be required to meet the RLIF eligibility regulations.

Up to four regional teams will also take part in a separate competition.
