The 2013 Pacific Rugby Cup was the eighth edition of the Pacific Rugby Cup competition. The tournament featured national 'A' teams from Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga, and the Junior Japan team which was added for the 2013 tournament. The format involved touring to play against Super Rugby development teams from Australia and New Zealand, and was intended include a round robin stage between the four core teams,[1] but this leg of the tournament was cancelled to allow preparation for the end-of-year internationals.[2]
