Host bidding
At the 2010 Rugby League International Federation executive meeting the New Zealand Rugby League made an early submission to co-host the 2017 tournament with Australia.[1]
Two formal bids were subsequently received by the RLIF before a November 2012 deadline; the co-host bid from Australia and New Zealand and a bid from South Africa.[2][3][4]
On 19 February 2014, it was announced that the joint bid from Australia and New Zealand had won hosting rights.[5]
