Nordic Cup (rugby league)

The Nordic Cup is a rugby league tournament played annually between Denmark national rugby league team, Norway and Sweden.

It was first played in 2011, in which Denmark claimed the trophy with victory over Norway at Gladsaxe Stadium in Greater Copenhagen.

For the first three years, the tournament was acknowledged by the Rugby League European Federation (RLEF), but the games were not recognised as full internationals.

In 2014, the fixtures were played in accordance with RLEF regulations and recognised as full internationals.
