The 2009 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (officially known as the Gillette Four Nations due to sponsorship) is scheduled to be played in England and France during October and November 2009.[1] The tournament will largely be based on the concept of the Rugby League Tri-Nations, and is scheduled to be held in England & France. France and England will be competing for the first time. Great Britain will not feature in the competition, as after the 2007 New Zealand All Golds Tour, they have broken up to be reformed only on special occasions. Their place will be taken by England.
The RLIF has stated that after 2010 the fourth team (after Australia, New Zealand and England) will have to qualify for the tournament by winning either the European Nations Cup or the South Pacific Cup and then beating the opposing cup's winner.[citation needed]
The 2009 series is the first of three Four Nations series planned before the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, with the venues rotating between Europe and the South Pacific.[2]
