Three Americas teams will compete with Canada in the top division, the USA in the second division, and Colombia in the third division.

New Zealand will host the Division 1 games with Canada squaring off against Wales in Wellington, England in Dunedin, and France in Auckland. South Africa host Division 2 with the USA playing Samoa in Stellenbosch, followed by Scotland and Italy both in Cape Town. All of the Division 3 games will be played in Dubai with Colombia taking on Fiji, Ireland, and Kenya.
