The National Rugby League (NRL) has today confirmed the fixture for the 2025 Pacific Championships Final, with three back-to-back matches to be played at CommBank Stadium in Sydney next Sunday (November 9).
The blockbuster triple-header will feature Australia, New Zealand, Samoa and the Cook Islands, bringing together fans from right across the Pacific region.
After a narrow win over Samoa in the opening match and a dominant performance against Tonga in Auckland this afternoon, the New Zealand Kiwis will face off against Toa Samoa in an explosive rematch in the Men’s Pacific Cup Final at 4:05pm AEDT.
The Samoans progressed to the Final after a stunning 34-6 win over Tonga in Brisbane last week and will be greeted by thousands of adoring fans in what is expected to be a sea of blue at CommBank Stadium on Sunday.
The Women’s Pacific Cup Final will see the all-conquering Jillaroos in action against fierce rivals the New Zealand Kiwi Ferns at 1:35pm AEDT.
The Jillaroos conceded only one try on their way to the Final with an emphatic 60-0 defeat of Fetu Samoa in Brisbane before a hard fought 10-4 win over New Zealand in Auckland today.
The triple-header at CommBank Stadum will kick off with a crucial Rugby League World Cup 2026 Qualifier between Cook Islands Aitu and South Africa at 11:35am AEDT.
