The 2025 World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup [a] is the seventeenth Pacific Nations Cup (PNC) tournament and is the second edition under its new format that was launched in 2024. [2] World Rugby announced in 2023 that the Finals series hosts will be the United States, alternating from the previous Finals series hosts Japan. [2] [3]

Contents

Fiji are the defending champions. They defeated Japan in the 2024 final 41–17. [4] [5]

World Cup qualification

The 2025 edition will also double up as the Pacific (Americas North, Oceania and Japan) qualifying process for the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup, with the top three teams (outside of Fiji and Japan who have already qualified) qualifying for the Rugby World Cup as Pacific 1, 2 and 3. [6] The remaining sixth team in the competition will have two further opportunities to qualify. Initially, they will advance as Pacific 4 to a Sudamérica / Pacific play-off match against Sudamérica 2, for a chance to qualify for the World Cup as the Sudamérica / Pacific play-off winner. The loser of that match will advance to the Final Qualification Tournament along with Belgium (as Europe 5), Namibia (Africa 2), and Sudamérica 3.

Pool stage

The Pool stage effectively divides the six teams in two zones, a Southern Hemisphere Pacific islands group featuring traditional rivals Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, and a Northern Hemisphere North Pacific Rim group containing North American rivals Canada and the United States, along with Japan. Each team plays a single round robin within its zone, with the top two teams in each zone moving on to playoff semifinals which are inter-zonal. The third-placed team in each group also plays an inter-zonal tie to decide 5th and 6th place.
