History
The Pacific Cup was started in 1975 by Keith Gittoes of the New South Wales Rugby League.{ It was held twice in the 1970s before being abandoned due to cost.
The competition was revived in 1986, and held biennially until the 1996 competition was postponed. Instead a 1996 Pacific Challenge was held. The Super League ran an Oceania Cup in 1997.
The Pacific Cup was revived by the New Zealand Rugby League once again in 2004, this time as a secondary competition to the Pacific Rim Championship. It was again held in February and March 2006 under NZRL administration, this time as a main competition.
