The women's competition was won by New Zealand, and the men's competition by the hosts Australia.[2] The tournament, like the XIII's tournament, was intended to be held every four years. However the 2023 tournament, which was due to be held in Australia, was cancelled due to the New South Wales Government withdrawing support after the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
