World Cup Qualification

The top team from each group of Euro A, outside of France and England (who have already qualified), will qualify for the 2025 Men's Rugby League World Cup. The second placed team from each group will enter a playoff with one of the group winners from Euro B for the final two European places.

Notes

  1. Despite the Ukraine vs Norway match being a home game for Ukraine, it will be played in Norway due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War.[3]
