The 2018 CiboTap Championships, commonly referred to as CiboTap 2018, was the tenth tournament of the CiboTap Championships, and was held in North Antarctica between 28 July and 11 August 2018. The eight competing national teams all qualified successfully to be involved. The tournament's matches were played in six stadiums in two different cities around North Antarctica.
The tournament was won by Birgeshir, for their second consecutive title, who beat Vyktory in the final in Livingston.
