Announcement
The Rugby World Cup hosting has been announced for all tournaments until 2033.
We now know where the next three Women’s World Cups will be held after the tournament in New Zealand this year, as well as the location for the two men’s World Cups that France will follow in 2023.
England will host the 2025 World Cup with the aim of selling Twickenham for the final of the women’s tournament. Australia will host the 2027 and 2029 men’s and women’s events respectively – the first time they have been held back-to-back in the same country.
More history will be made in 2031 when the USA will host the 15th World Cup for the first time and they will also host the women’s tournament two years later.
All three venues were ranked as preferred hosts ahead of the World Rugby Council meeting in Dublin this week, which unanimously approved the bids.
World Rugby President Bill Beaumont described the decision as “providing a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth and influence of rugby on the world stage”.
He added: “The confirmation of host venues is supported by a new partnership approach to event delivery that will power long-term, sustainable growth in the United States and women’s sport. It will help the sport to realize its global potential on and off the field. , driving significant social and economic benefits for the host countries.
“Today is a historic moment for the sport, and an exciting development for the fans. I want to congratulate everyone involved in making this dream a reality as we truly seek to provide a global sport for all.”
2027
World Rugby hopes to award bids for both the 2027 and 2031 Men’s World Cups (with bids for the 2025 and 2029 Women’s World Cups) by May 2022. The process of talking to potential nations began in February 2021 with a formal candidate. Starting three months later, the finalists will be evaluated in February 2022.[1]
As of June 2019, Argentina, Australia and Russia had announced their interest in hosting the 2027 Rugby World Cup, [2] [3] but Argentina withdrew their bid in April 2020, leaving two bidders. [4] There was speculation that the United States and South Africa would be interested in hosting the event, but the South African Rugby Union has stated that it will not bid for the 2027 World Cup.
World Rugby president Bill Beaumont suggested in late 2018 that France could be an emerging nation to host the Rugby World Cup after the 2023 event.[6] World Rugby CEO Brett Gosper also suggested in 2019 That World Rugby could bid for the 2027 and 2031 World Cups simultaneously (as they did with England 2015 and Japan 2019), so that they could make “a bold decision and a traditional decision.” The hosts of the 2027 and 2031 tournaments will be revealed in May 2022.
Hosts
The world will be watching to see if America can be competitive and attract huge crowds coming to the World Cup in the rugby strongholds of Europe and the Southern Hemisphere.
For now, there is ample opportunity for fans to attend the game in person and prepare for the big event. Men’s teams are playing in Major League Rugby in a dozen American cities. There are semi-pro and amateur adult teams, varsity and club collegiate programs, youth rugby camps, wheelchair rugby and touch (non-tackle) rugby league, to begin with. USA Rugby lists state contacts.
1999
Australia met France in the fourth Rugby World Cup final, in front of a 72,500-capacity crowd at the recently concluded Millennium Stadium. This was their second final for both the teams. Australia was resilient in defense throughout the tournament, while France promised an attacking back line full of talent. France took an early lead after only two minutes in damp and cold conditions with a Christophe Lamaison penalty. The penalty kick would be the story of the day and Matt Burke leveled the score with a successful kick four minutes later. The Australian forward dominated in the loose and his strategy of kicking consistently for the field and position proved effective. Lamaison offered some respite with a penalty in the 12th minute to give France a 6-3 lead. Injury and the subsequent replacement of Olivier Magne disrupted France’s back row line-up after 20 minutes. However, Matt Burke showed extreme accuracy from time to time, as French exuberance was punished in the loose. At half-time, Australia took a 12-6 lead with all points from two talented goal-kickers.
