The defending champions are New Zealand from the 2016 edition. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

The final tournament will be held in Vanuatu from 15 to 30 June 2024.[2]

Host selection

Although New Zealand was selected as host for the final tournament in 2020 before it was eventually cancelled, in December 2023 it was announced that the 2024 edition of the tournament would be held in Vanuatu.[2][3]
