The Vuvale Bowl () is a men's rugby union trophy contested between Australia and Fiji. Established in 2025, the trophy between the two teams was originally known as the Kava Bowl, and was first played for on Australia's 1984 tour of Fiji. Australia gifted the trophy to Fijian and Australian international player Ilivasi Tabua. Tabua later returned the trophy to the Fiji Rugby Union (FRU).
Australia won the inaugural trophy 21–18 in Newcastle, New South Wales, and were presented with the Vuvale Bowl by the Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese and the Prime Minister of Fiji Sitiveni Rabuka.
