East Asia Cup: Hong Kong 14, Japan 24

Japan beat Hong Kong 24-14 in Hokkaido to win the rugby league East Asia Cup 2024. The match was tightly fought but in the end, Hong Kong’s lack of playing time and international fixtures over the last six years allowed Japan to close out the match.

Congratulations to Japan on their victory. Congratulations to all the Hong Kong players and here’s hoping it’s not another six years until the next international.

“Between 1992 and 2017, the Hong Kong International Cricket Sixes was a highlight of our sporting calendar. We are excited to bring it back, not just as a cricket event, but as a celebration of our city and its potential in the world of sports. With cricket’s inclusion in the LA Games 2028 and possibly Brisbane 2032, this event will help propel the sport’s growth in East Asia,” said Burji Shroff, Chairperson of Cricket Hong Kong.
