2017 Rugby League World Cup inter-group matches
The 2017 Rugby League World Cup inter-group matches were three matches played between teams in Group C and Group D of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup. Both groups C and D have only 3 teams in comparison to Group A and Group B, so in order for all teams to play 3 matches, teams across the two groups played each other.
