About the event

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.

Ticket availability and entry conditions should be confirmed through the organizer before purchase.
