The 2007 IRB Pacific Nations Cup was a rugby union competition held between six Pacific rim sides; Australia A, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and the Junior All Blacks (New Zealand's second XV). This was the first year that Australia A had competed – Australia had declined the invitation to compete in the inaugural competition in 2006 because they wanted to focus on their domestic competition, but on 18 October 2006 it was announced that they would send their second XV.

  • The 2007 IRB Pacific Nations Cup was a rugby union competition held between six Pacific rim sides; Australia A, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and the Junior All Blacks (New Zealand's second XV). This was the first year that Australia A had competed – Australia had declined the invitation to compete in the inaugural competition in 2006 because they wanted to focus on their domestic competition, but on 18 October 2006 it was announced that they would send their second XV. For this reason, the inaugural tournament was renamed the Pacific Nations Cup instead of the IRB Pacific Five Nations as it had been called in 2006. The tournament is a round-robin of fifteen games where each team plays one match against each of the other teams. There are four points for a win, two points for a draw and none for a defeat. There are also bonus points offered with one bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match and one bonus point for losing by 7 points or less. New Zealand's Junior All Blacks won the Cup for the second time in Round 4, gaining an unbeatable lead after beating Australia A 50–0 in Dunedin.
  • La IRB Pacific Nations Cup 2007 fu la seconda edizione della IRB Pacific Nations Cup, e la prima a chiamarsi ufficialmente con tale nome: alle cinque Nazionali già presenti nel 2006, infatti, dal 2007 si aggiunse alla manifestazione anche l'Australia che partecipò con la propria Nazionale “A”. Come nell'edizione precedente, anche quella del 2007 fu vinta dagli Junior All Blacks con punteggio pieno e il bonus conquistato in ogni incontro per avervi realizzato almeno quattro mete in ciascuno di essi.
