With separate men’s, women’s, and wheelchair competitions across 26 teams and 53 games—including double-headers—this marks the nation’s sixth time hosting or co-hosting the tournament since 1957. The powerhouse Jillaroos, champions for three straight years, are poised to lead the charge, while government leaders stress the event’s role in empowering young athletes and showcasing Australia’s sporting leadership. Prime Minister, a rugby league fan, promises unforgettable moments and strengthened regional ties, as Papua New Guinea prepares to join the NRL in 2024 and compete in 2028. With the 2023 tournament already underway across Australia, New Zealand, and PNG, the stage is set for a global spectacle that also fuels momentum ahead of the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.
