The Pacific Championships are reaching their peak and you can catch every moment live on SportNews.
The Pacific Championships in the men's and women's are split into two competitions - the Bowl and the Cup.
So, let's take a look at the key elements as the contest goes up another level this weekend.
There are 12 teams involved across the men's and women's formats of the competition in 2025.
In the men's, New Zealand, Samoa, and Tonga will contest the Cup. Meanwhile, the Cook Islands, Fiji and Papua New Guinea will contest the Bowl.
In the women's, Australia, Samoa, and New Zealand will contest the Pacific Cup, with Cook Islands, PNG and Tonga going for the Pacific Bowl.
Australia men are not involved this year due to them competing in the Ashes against England. This means Samoa jump up to the Cup.
Starting back in 2019 for the men, it was the Kangaroos who picked up the inaugural win in the Cup, with Fiji winning the second tier.
The format then returned in 2023, with New Zealand beating Australia. In 2024, Australia then took back the title when they defeated Tonga.
The women's competition began in 2024, with the Jillaroos beating New Zealand to claim the inaugural title.
The format sees each team play each other once in the Cup and the Bowl. In the Cup, the top two teams then play a final to decide the winner. In the Bowl, the top team after the round-robin games is immediately crowned the winner.
In the men's, Toa Samoa sit on top of the Pacific Cup after a 34-6 victory over Tonga. The Bowl has Fiji top following their 44-24 victory over the Cook Islands.
In the women's, Australia Jillaroos are in top spot after a dominant 60-0 victory over Fetu Samoa, with Cook Islands top of the Bowl with a strong 34-6 win over PNG.
Both competitions continue over Saturday November 1 and Sunday November 2, live on SportNews.
