The first match of the tournament is set to be played at 3:15pm (AEDT) on Friday, February 9.

It will then run for two days, with the action on Day 1 concluding after the final match, which will be played between the Brumbies and Crusaders at 10:30pm (AEDT).

The teams will return to Suncorp Stadium for Day 2 on Saturday, February 10 with play commencing at 2:08pm (AEDT). The tournament will conclude with the finals – first the women’s at 8:30pm (AEDT), followed by the men’s at 9:15pm (AEDT).

In the men’s tournament, 12 teams will be split into three groups of four, with six teams qualifying for the finals, allowing the top two ranked teams across the pools to advance straight to the final.

The women’s tournament only has four teams and as such, the two top teams will go straight to the final without having to play a semi-final or other elimination match.
