The first edition was played in June 2023. AS Academy won that edition of the tournament after winning all four of their matches.[2][3][4]
Inaugural edition
[edit]The first edition was planned for March 2023, but was then postponed to 1 to 10 June.[5]
The tournament was played in Papua New Guinea and was supposed to feature six teams from the region, but New Zealand's Eastern Suburbs subsequently withdrew after the draw due to financial, logistical and security concerns.
The five remaining teams played each other on a round-robin basis.[6]
The 2024 edition was played in the Solomon Islands and now featured eight teams in two groups followed by a knock-out stage.[7]
