‘It’s amazing’: UK, Australia and USA to host men’s and women’s Rugby World Cups – video | Sport

England, Australia and the USA have been selected to host both the men and women’s Rugby World Cups for the coming decade. The United States will stage a World Cup for the first time after being voted as the host of the men’s tournament in 2031 and the women’s tournament two years later. The sport is breaking new ground by taking the men’s tournament to the US, with the governing body regarding it as an area of untapped potential. The 2027 World Cup in Australia is being viewed as a chance to rejuvenate rugby in the country, bringing much-needed revenue to its governing body which was badly hit by the pandemic.
