So USA potentially don't qualify for a tournament they host? Can that be correct?

How embarrassing for organisers if this occurs.

Mattpoet the 2021 RLWC is being held in England.

2025 RLWC is meant to be being held in USA and Canada. However, last I heard this may not be the case due to financial issues.
