The Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) confirmed the news yesterday (Monday).
Australia, expected to co-host the tournament with New Zealand, also re-confirmed its commitment to staging the 2008 World Cup.
A working party of RLIF members has also been assigned to each tournament to look into organisational matters.
This year's Tri-Series is unlikely to reproduce the £750,000 profits generated a year ago following Great Britain's failure to reach Saturday's final.
