High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1995 Rugby League World Cup was held during October in the United Kingdom. It was the eleventh staging of the Rugby League World Cup and was marketed as the Halifax Centenary World Cup, reflecting the tournament's sponsorship and the fact that 1995 marked the 100th birthday of the sport. Envisaged as a celebration of rugby league, the size of the competition was doubled with four additional teams being invited to the tournament and Great Britain being split between England and Wales (Scotland and Ireland taking part in the Emerging Nations Tournament). In addition, an Emerging Nations Tournament was held alongside the main event, giving teams that had failed to qualify a chance of silverware. The tournament had been preceded by doubts and pessimism; many feared that it would produce one-sided-matches that would be unattractive to supporters. The forthcoming Super League war hung over the tournament, with the Australian Rugby League refusing to pick players who had signed for the rival competition. In the event, the fears proved unfounded, and the cup was acclaimed a great success.
