About Rugby World Cup
The Rugby World Cup is the pinnacle of men's rugby union, held every four years since 1987. Only four nations have ever lifted the Webb Ellis Cup, and South Africa are the most successful with four titles — including back-to-back wins in 2019 and 2023. The 2027 tournament in Australia is the first played under an expanded 24-team format (up from 20), spread across host cities from Sydney and Melbourne to Perth and Brisbane over six weeks.
The 2027 Rugby World Cup runs 1 October – 14 November across Australia and is the first with 24 teams instead of 20, meaning more matches and a longer group stage. South Africa arrive as back-to-back defending champions, chasing an unprecedented third straight title against New Zealand, Ireland, France and hosts Australia.
