The United States have been confirmed as the host of both the 2031 Men’s Rugby World Cup and the 2033 Women’s Rugby World Cup as World Rugby lays out the schedule for the next 11 years of the sport.
The announcement came on Thursday in Dublin, with England the hosts of the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup, and Australia announced as the destination for the 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup and 2029 Women’s Rugby World Cup.
The announcement of Australia and the U.S. as double hosts for both competitions is the first time World Rugby — the governing body of the sport — has awarded both premier tournaments to the same country over a two-year period as part of a new strategic decision announced last November.
