Rugby World Cup 2027 will be the eleventh edition of the Men’s Rugby World Cup. It comes 40 years after the inaugural tournament which was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia in 1987. The 2027 edition is the third to feature matches in Australia and the second to be entirely hosted by the world’s sixth largest country.
Australia enter as two-time former champions with South Africa being the reigning champions. The tournament also features newcomers with Hong Kong having successfully qualified for a Men’s Rugby World Cup for the first time.
The tournament will be comprised of a total of 52 matches; this marks an increase from 48 as used in Rugby World Cup 2003 and all Men’s tournaments since then. The change includes expansion from 20 to 24 teams and the introduction of an addition round of knock-out competition between the pool stage and the Quarter Finals: the round-of-16.
