Decision secures long-term growth opportunity for the sport to
unlock the true potential of a global sport for all
World Rugby has confirmed the locations for the next three
women’s and two men’s Rugby World Cups as it accelerates global
development and growth.
At its Annual Meeting in Dublin, the World Rugby Council
unanimously approved the staging of Rugby World Cup in the
following countries, delivering a golden decade for the sport:
England to host Rugby World Cup 2025 (women’s)
Australia to host Rugby World Cup 2027 (men’s) and 2029
(women’s)
USA to host Rugby World Cup 2031 (men’s) and 2033 (women’s)
Underpinning this confirmation, the Council also approved a new
model that will see World Rugby form partnerships with national
unions and governments to establish a local delivery structure
in each nation.
Rugby World Cup: a golden decade awaits
England (2025), Australia (2027 and 2029) and USA (2031 and
2033) are announced as host locations of the next 10 years of
Rugby World Cup tournaments for men and women.
The new partnership approach is in line with the ‘game-changer’
objectives of World Rugby’s strategic plan to provide hosting
certainty for Rugby World Cup and stimulate the dynamic
development of rugby globally by engaging with more fans and
unlocking new revenue streams for increased investment in the
sport. This includes a roadmap to accelerate the sport’s
advancement in the USA and increased investment in the women’s
game.
Speaking at the Council, World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont
said: “Today, we have approved three exceptional Rugby World Cup
host nations – England, Australia and USA – providing
unprecedented certainty and an unparalleled opportunity to
accelerate the growth and impact of rugby globally. It is great
for rugby, for fans and for the host nations.
“The confirmation of host locations is supported by a new
partnership approach to event delivery, that will power
long-term, sustainable development, including in the USA and
across the women’s game, enabling the sport to realise its
global potential on and off the field, driving significant
social and economic benefits for host nations.
“Today is a landmark moment for the sport, and an exciting
development for fans. I would like to congratulate everyone
involved in making this dream a reality as we look to deliver a
truly global sport for all.”
World Rugby Chief Executive Alan Gilpin added: “As a sport and
an international federation, it is imperative that we
continually seek new ways to ensure that the sport converts
clear potential into impactful outcomes, and today’s decision
reflects that commitment.
“A partnership approach will enable us to develop robust
strategic objectives that are great for the host nation and
great for rugby and build efficiencies of delivery and
resourcing, helping to reduce hosting costs from the outset,
while maximising fan engagement, revenue and delivery
opportunities. All of which will lead to even greater direct
investment back into the game at all levels.
“We look forward to continuing our engagement with the host
partners to deliver the stage for the world’s best players to
perform and a festival to excite and engage fans from around the
world, growing the rugby movement together in a responsible and
sustainable way.”
RFU Chief Operating Officer, Chief Finance Officer and former
England captain Sue Day said: “We are thrilled to be hosting
Rugby World Cup 2025, it is going to be incredible. We would
like to thank Government for their support in making this
possible. Working closely with Government, UK Sport, Sport
England and World Rugby together we will create a lasting legacy
for women’s rugby in England, the UK and across the world, both
in terms of attracting more people to play and attracting new
fans.
“As we have seen from other home World Cups in cricket, hockey
and netball, a Rugby World Cup will further advance all women’s
sport. The tournament will also deliver significant economic
benefits right across the country.”
Rugby Australia Chairman Hamish McLennan said: “This is an
historic day for rugby in Australia. We’re beyond thrilled to be
welcoming not one, but two Rugby World Cups to our shores. It’s
a game-changer for rugby in this country, a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to revitalise and secure the future of the sport
here and see the game we all love grow and thrive for years to
come.
“Today’s announcement is also the result of an incredible amount
of hard work and cooperation from across the rugby community
over many years. Today is a significant moment in time for our
game. We look forward to working together with World Rugby, our
member unions and Government partners over the coming years to
ensure that we make the most of this opportunity and continue
the resurgence of rugby in this country.”
USA Rugby Chief Executive Ross Young added: “I speak for the
rugby community and fans across the United States when I express
our sincere gratitude to World Rugby for their trust and
endorsement of our vision to grow this incredible sport
exponentially across our country.
“USA Rugby will now venture into a new era and ensure the
sport’s most treasured event is a springboard for creating
lasting, sustainable enthusiasm and passion for rugby from coast
to coast. We look forward to partnering with World Rugby in the
years ahead to ensure that our preparations for these
tournaments and the events themselves are a paradigm-shifting
catalyst for the growth of our sport, not only here in the
United States but around the world.”
The revised model builds on the success of a future host
selection process that has attracted credible and sustainable
bids, showing the clear potential to deliver excellent outcomes
for both the hosts and the game. With Japan 2019 delivering
record economic and societal outcomes, new commercial partners
through to 2023 and beyond, and France 2023 set to smash all
previous ticket sales, commercial and broadcast records, Rugby
World Cup is an attractive proposition for governments and
national unions with a climate positive commitment in line with
World Rugby’s Environmental Sustainability Plan 2030.
Meanwhile, the women’s edition will be the jewel in the crown of
an exciting new global calendar from 2023 with the introduction
of WXV set to revolutionise the competition, competitiveness,
and fan engagement landscape. Rugby World Cup 2021, playing in
2022, in New Zealand will raise the bar after global successes
in Ireland, France and England. The 2025 tournament will expand
to 16 teams, providing the opportunity for more teams to compete
on the biggest stage.

Thanks Dazza, a good read.
Still worried that 2031 will be played in the summer, as it'll
clash with the NFL in the current slot

When do you think they will realise that the USA is never going
to be that fussed about rugby. I'm sure they will host a great
world cup and I'd be very keen to go, but think the constant
talk of the potential of rugby in USA might be rather misguided

Another upshot of this is we have a good record when the world
Cup is held in Australia.

Maybe not but MLR seems to be getting bigger and bigger and US
visitors seem to have at least a passing knowledge so by the
time the US gets the World Cup there is a good chance the US
team will be ahead of where Japan was when they hosted their
World Cup.

Personally, USA, great.
I hope that Chicago gets an England game it's my 3rd favourite
city on earth!
Plenty of time to save!

I'm trying to figure out which city is better than Chicago but
worse than Swindon.

I just don't get it with the Americans. You imagine all of those
young, powerful athletes who don't make it to the NFL or the
track teams, spend a couple of years converting them to Rugby
and they would be a major force.
They need to change the mindset that Rugby is a very good option
and you can represent your country, which they love on a regular
basis.

US team sports are more insular than other countries. It's taken
a few decades for the roundball game to have an established
presence. Rugby has a toehold thanks to the efforts of MLR, plus
a similarity to an existing game, but it will still take years
for it to reach the size of soccer if left to its own devices.
Having a RWC will at least boost the profile on the US News and
Sports channels while it's on.
