The IRL Wheelchair World Rankings are the ranking system for men's wheelchair national teams in the sport of rugby league football.[1] The first rankings were published in June 2020.[2]
Current calculation method[edit]
Match status[edit]
A weighting system has been implemented by the IRL to give more points to teams if they gain a victory over a major team in a major tournament, with friendlies ranked with considerably fewer points than any World Cup finals match or the final of Cups such as the European, Mediterranean and Pacific Cups.
Opponent strength[edit]
The IRL has organized the ranking so that a win against a very highly ranked opponent is a considerably greater achievement than a win against a low-rated opponent, so the strength of the opposing team is a factor.
Assessment period[edit]
All matches played over the last three years are included in the calculation of the rankings, but there is a weighting system implemented to put more emphasis on recent results.
