       Australia’s Rugby World Cup confirmation creates golden decade
       of world-class rugby in nation, building on Olympic Games,
       Commonwealth Games and British and Irish Lions hosting USA to
       host 15s Rugby World Cups for the first time as highlight in
       wider long-term growth plan
       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.

       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.
