Sign up to our mailing list for a weekly digest from the wide world of rugby. Florence, Naples, Turin, Milan – all cities have sizeable stadiums which could be used to host rugby matches. 2023 will see the tournament taken to France for the third time and will no doubt significantly bolster World Rugby’s coffers. 2019’s Rugby World Cup will be the first time that the tournament is hosted by a nation not in the first-tier of the sport and it’s a sign that World Rugby are willing to take a gamble when it comes to picking hosts. Beaumont confirmed the new process after the recent World Rugby Council meetings in Japan. Should 2019 not be as profitable as is hoped, then the 2023 tournament in France will make up for some of the shortfall. The biggest concern would be the inaccessibility of the nation. Stadio Olimpico, Italy’s home ground, can hold over 70,000 people and is the perfect spot for a final. Equally importantly, Italy has high speed domestic trains which could transport fans across the country. The Italian team regularly fills up Stadio Olimpico, even with less than encouraging results – so there’s obviously a good appetite for the sport in the country. Argentina have never bid for a World Cup. That doesn’t mean Australia couldn’t host an excellent World Cup – their may simply be a perception that there are other nations which would get more excited about hosting it. In terms of sheer performance, the USA is making steady gains on the rest of the world.

Structurally, Italy has everything it needs to host a major sporting event.
World Rugby will award the next two Rugby World Cups simultaneously in the hope to replicate the success of the 2015 and 2019 tournaments, chairman Bill Beaumont has confirmed.
Although games could be hosted all across the country, in all likelihood the competition would be focused primarily on the West Cost, the USA’s rugby hotbed. Although not as decked out with rugby stadiums as some nations, Argentina still have a range of options available across the country. “(Japan) have been magnificent and warm hosts. Still, lengthy flights in and out of the country shouldn’t infringe on the chances of the tournament being a well-attended success. Of course, the decision ultimately comes down to a vote, so a major factor will be the kinds of bids that the proposed hosts put forward. They’ve made it to the semi-finals in two of the last three competitions and, although they’ve under-performed in the last few years, are starting to hit form at the right time for 2019’s competition. With a dual announcement, though, there is the potential that the 2031 World Cup could go to a country like the USA, giving the bid winner close to a decade to prepare for hosting. Perhaps a World Cup is all that would be needed to boost player numbers enough to start a rugby revolution. The 1995 World Cup was, by all accounts, a raging success and there is little reason to suggest a second World Cup would not do well. Regardless of where fans are travelling from, they’re likely looking at a minimum travel time of at least 12 hours – which would make a World Cup in Argentina the most difficult to travel to. The bid may have ultimately been allowed – but a number of voters may well have been thrown off by the continued political turmoil in the country. Have they been biding their time for now?
Given the recent push for the Women’s game, World Rugby will have a keen eye on how successful the 2021 tournament is – and perhaps that competition will be Australia’s springboard to hosting the men’s event once more. Italy will likely host a World Cup someday – but 2027 may be a tournament too early. Those are effectively the two primary criteria that World Rugby are aiming to meet when they elect nations to host the World Cup. As of June 2019, three countries, Argentina, Australia and Russia, had declared their interest in hosting the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
Beaumont described Japan 2019 as "probably the greatest" World Cup of all time, following up the success of the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. Rugby is slowly spreading across the globe. New Zealand may be far removed from most of the world, but at least they have their Australian neighbours near-by. It will also be the first time that tournament is not hosted by one of the traditional rugby nations. With the carnivorous barbecues and South American flair and entertainment ever-present, an Argentinian competition would be a fantastic treat for anyone in the country. The 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cups were both awarded in 2009, but World Rugby moved away from that process in the awarding of the 2023 World Cup. Australia’s lack of proximity to other nations didn’t inhibit crowds for those major events. There’s a lot to like about the idea of Italyhosting a World Cup. World Rugby will award the next two Rugby World Cups simultaneously in the hope to replicate the success of the 2015 and 2019 tournaments, chairman Bill Beaumont has confirmed. The other factor not in Australia’s favour is that the last World Cup hosted in the Southern Hemisphere was located just over the ditch in New Zealand. 2011’s tournament in New Zealand was never expected to be the biggest profit maker for World Rugby, but it brought the tournament back to the location of its first ever iteration for the first time in 24 years. For one reason or another, Australia have not put their name forward to host a World Cup since the successful 2003 tournament. Taking the World Cup global: who will play host in 2027? What fan wouldn’t want to be present for the first ever World Cup in the Americas? Italy first bid for the tournament in 2015 but lost out to England. [1][2] There has been speculation that the United States and South Africa would announce their interest in hosting the event, however South Africa has stated that they would not be bidding for the 2027 world cup. Purely as a tourist destination, Italy would rank fairly highly for many people around the world with plenty to do and see. © 2020 Australian Rugby. As already mentioned, the Americas have never hosted a Rugby World Cup and the Southern Hemisphere are long due a competition, after missing out in 2015, 2019 and 2023. Japan certainly fits into this category and there’s hope that hosting the World Cup in the land of the rising sun will broaden the game’s appeal to the various Asian countries. Perhaps the biggest obstacle the country would face is that the 2023 competition is already being hosted in mainland Europe. "The dual selection process will be launched in November 2020 and will enable World Rugby to select an optimal combination of hosts rather like what we've achieved here.". While there’s every expectation that 2019 will still do well in the revenue stakes, hosting the tournament in Asia for the first time will hopefully grow the rugby market and increase future revenues. World Rugby CEO Brett Gosper said he hoped the council would be willing to take a risk and take the tournament to new territories as they did in awarding Japan the first World Cup in Asia. One big factor going against Australia is the public’s current apathy towards the sport. The USA is hosting the 2026 Football World Cup and Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympics, putting the potential of another major event in 2027 under a cloud. Given Johannesburg is regularly rated one of the most dangerous cities in South Africa (and, therefore, one of the most dangerous in the world), you can understand why some may have reservations about South Africa hosting the World Cup. The 2027 Rugby World Cup is scheduled to be the eleventh Rugby World Cup. Watch The Rugby Championship, Bledisloe Cup and more LIVE, Given the recent push for the Women’s game.
Salta, Mendoza, Tucumán, Rosario and Buenos Aires have all hosted international rugby matches in recent years. Australia have the stadiums and public transport necessary to host a major event such as the Rugby World Cup – so what’s holding them back? So where could the potential bids come from for 2027?
