The trophy was won by Spain , with Samoa in second place. These two teams qualified for the World Cup the following year in France. The Spanish won their qualification on the final day by beating Italy, who had been leading the provisional rankings, by a score of 38–7.
The tournament used a split pool format. The six teams were seeded and divided into two pools of three. The teams played one match against each of the teams in the opposite pool. The tournament rankings were determined based on the number of points accumulated from each match.[ 1]
