The 2025 Rugby League World Cup will be the seventeenth staging of the Rugby League World Cup. The tournament is expected to include 16 men's teams as well as a women's competition, the same as is planned for 2021.

On 20 November 2016 it was announced that the North America bid had won the rights to the 2025 World Cup.

After losing the 2021 Rugby League World Cup bid, the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) recommended that the United States and Canada should host the 2025 event after an impressive bid by Moore Sports International lost out to England. The RLIF Congress went on to review that recommendation at a meeting in November 2016.

On 20 November 2016, it was announced that the North America bid had won the rights to host the 2025 World Cup. This is set to be the first time the tournament is held outside of Europe and Australasia.
