The 2024 World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup was the sixteenth Pacific Nations Cup (PNC) tournament and the first with a new format design. Similar to the 2019 tournament, the same teams played each other, with the same round-robin structure. However, unlike 2019, the 2024 edition had a finals series following the pool stage (hosted in Japan), to decide the champion.

While Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and Japan did play each other in the lead-up to the 2023 Rugby World Cup, no official PNC tournament took place in 2023. As such, Samoa are the defending champions, having gone undefeated at the 2022 iteration of the tournament.

Fiji won the 2024 title, beating Japan in the Grand Final, 41–17.
