The Americas Rugby League Championship is an international rugby league football tournament contested by Canada, Chile, Jamaica, and the USA. The tournament was created to follow the success of the Americas region of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup qualifying.[1]

History[]

Previously the only regular international competitions in North America were the Colonial Cup between the USA and Canada and the Caribbean Carnival Cup between Jamaica and Canada (2011-2014). As part of the RLIFs policy of expansion and the introduction of a regular international calendar the America's Cup was established which gave the nations opportunity for regular competitive games.
