The 2009 Rugby League European Cup, known as the rugbyleague.com European Cup due to sponsorship,[1] was a rugby league football tournament.
The revamped Rugby League European Cup 2009 involved six teams competing in two groups of three. Participating teams were: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Serbia, Lebanon and Italy. Russia were scheduled to take part in the competition, but were forced to pull out due to board restructuring within the Russian Rugby League Federation. They were replaced by the RLEF European Shield winners, Italy.[2]
