ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT

The 2022 Rugby League Women's World Cup saw eight teams - the highest number so far - compete over three weeks, and it was the first time that teams from four different continents played in the competition.  It was the sixth staging of the competition and since its inception in 2000 it's been won by only two teams, New Zealand and Australia. The Kukis  played in group B and are ranked 12 in the world
