Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rugby League World Cup is an international rugby league football competition contested by the men''s national teams of the member nations of the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF), the sport''s global governing body. The first tournament was held in France in 1954, making it the first World Cup of either rugby code; it was the first competition to be officially known as the "Rugby World Cup". The championship has been awarded at various intervals since and is used to determine the best playing nation in the world. The most recent tournament was contested in Australia in 2008 and was won by New Zealand. In the thirteen tournaments held to date, only three nations have ever won the competition. Australia is by far the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament nine times. Great Britain has claimed the World Cup on three occasions, and New Zealand once. Since 2000, the RLIF has also organised World Cups for Women, Students and numerous other categories. In 2013 the United Kingdom will host the games for the 5th time.
