After an eight-year absence, the Rugby League World Cup will return this year to Australia. The 2008 Rugby League World Cup will be the third tournament held in Australasia and will feature the top 10 Rugby League nations.
Comprising of 10 teams divided into three pools, organisers are hoping to avoid a repeat of the one-sided contests which marred the 2000 tournament.
Australia will be red-hot favourites to win their 10th World Cup, but England and New Zealand will also fancy their chances.
England will kick off proceedings against Papua New Guinea on 25 October in Townsville. Four weeks later, the 18th and final game of the tournament will see things decided in the final at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
