The competition was to be held in during October and November 2025,[1] but was moved to 2026 following the withdrawal of France as hosts nation.[2][3][4][5] The competition will run in parallel with the men's and wheelchair tournaments.[6]

Host selection

Шаблон:See also The International Rugby League (IRL) originally decided in 2016 to have the tournaments hosted in the United States and Canada.[7][8] In December 2019 however, the IRL withdrew the hosting rights due to the promoters, Moore Sports International, being unable to guarantee the staging of the tournaments.[9][10]

After re-opening the bidding to host the tournaments, the IRL awarded the hosting rights to France.[11][12][13] On 15 May 2023, the France 2025 organising committee was forced to withdraw from hosting the tournament, due to financial concerns from the new French government elected in May 2022.[14][15][16][17][18]

On 3 August it was confirmed that the tournament would be moved to 2026 and held in the Southern Hemisphere.[2][3][4][5]
