The tournament features 12 nations, all of whom have qualified for the 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup in Australia, split across two pools.

Pool A brings together Canada, Chile, Samoa, Tonga, Uruguay and the USA, while Pool B consists of Georgia, Hong Kong China, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Zimbabwe.
