The Rugby League Four Nations final is the championship game in the Rugby League Four Nations tournament. The tournament consists of four international teams that play each other once in a league table. The top two teams at the end of the six group games then play each other again for the championship.

The tournament has been played four times with each ending in a final game. Two have taken place in England, one in Australia and one in New Zealand. The two finals in England have both taken part at the same stadium, Elland Road, Leeds; these two finals have seen England take part but lose both games to Australia. The two finals to take place in Oceania have both been won by New Zealand, with the second in 2014 being won on home soil at Westpac Stadium, Wellington. As a result, this is the only time that a host nation has won the tournament on home soil. As of 2014, no fourth nation has reached the final. The 2016 final will be held at Anfield, Liverpool, England.

Venues

Leeds' Elland Road has hosted the most finals with the venue being used twice. The Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia holds the record for the highest attendance with 36,299 spectators watching the 2010 final. Anfield in Liverpool, England will host the 2016 final.
