World Rugby have confirmed the locations for the next FOUR Rugby World Cups as it accelerates global development and growth. Join the RUCK’s WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. 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: 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) 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.” EDITORS PICKS: Eben Etzebeth stood down from All Blacks clash, he isn’t injured “Goodbye draws” – Five more rugby law changes for 2025 New Zealand vs South Africa referee was stabbed after game Statement: Harlequins boss departs with immediate effect 2027 Rugby World Cup draw: England to play Hong Kong The tournament’s structure and timing now better reflect current global rankings, thanks to a late pool draw in December this year made possible by reforms in 2022. Here’s a breakdown of the predicted groups and team bios for the RWC 2027: 🏆 Group A New Zealand 🇳🇿 The legendary All Blacks need no introduction—three-time world champions with a relentless pursuit of perfection and a legacy of innovation. Argentina 🇦🇷 Los Pumas continue to rise as a Tier 1 nation, combining flair and fearlessness. Semifinalists in 2007 and 2015, they’re known for big-game upsets. Samoa 🇼🇸 With deep roots in rugby tradition, Samoa’s raw physicality and natural flair make them one of the most dangerous Tier 2 teams in the game. Tonga 🇹🇴 The ‘Ikale Tahi’ bring bone-crunching tackles and island pride. With several stars playing abroad, Tonga is always capable of springing a surprise. 🌍 Group B Ireland 🇮🇪 The current Six Nations champions and long-time world number one, Ireland seek to finally break their quarterfinal curse with a golden generation. Scotland 🏴 A Six Nations stalwart, Scotland blends tactical kicking and dynamic playmakers, looking to go beyond the quarterfinals for the first time since 1991. Japan 🇯🇵 The Brave Blossoms became global darlings in 2019 with a stunning quarterfinal run. Expect lightning-quick rucks and passionate homegrown talent. Chile 🇨🇱 One of the emerging forces from South America, Chile made its first RWC appearance in 2023. Physical, proud, and improving fast. CONTINUES ON PAGE TWO
