Format edit

The sixteen teams competing were divided into four pools of four, who will play a round-robin within the pool. Points are awarded in each pool depending on the result; 3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. The top two teams in each pool advanced to the Cup competition. The four quarterfinal losers dropped into the bracket for the Plate. The Bowl was contested by the third and fourth-place finishers in each pool, with the losers in the Bowl quarterfinals dropping into the bracket for the Shield.
