The Pacific Nations Cup is a rugby union tournament that features national teams from the Pacific region. Established in 2006, it aims to promote rugby in the Pacific Islands and provide competitive opportunities for teams like Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. The tournament typically takes place annually and serves as a platform for these nations to prepare for international competitions. The competition format usually involves a round-robin stage, where each team plays against the others. The results contribute to the overall standings, and the top teams may compete for the championship title. The Pacific Nations Cup also helps to develop local talent and strengthen rugby's presence in the region.
