The 2024 World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup is set to be the seventeenth Pacific Nations Cup (PNC) tournament, and the first with a new format design.[1][2] Similar to the 2019 tournament, the same teams will play each other,[1][2] with the same round-robin structure. However, unlike 2019 the 2024 edition is scheduled to have a finals series following the pool stage (hosted in Japan), to decide the champion.[1][3][4]

Fiji are the defending champions.[5][6]
