2023: A Major Year in Rugby History

France hosting the RWC in 2023
France is honoured to host this international event for the second time. Organized every 4 years, the Rugby World Cup will celebrate its 10th edition in 2023!

Host cities
The matches will be held in 9 venues across 10 French cities, one of which is Saint-Denis.

The Stade de France stadium will host two quarter finals, two semi-finals, the bronze final, and the final.

How are teams qualified?
A strict procedure defines the twenty teams that get to participate in the World Cup. As a result of the Rugby World Cup of 2019, twelve teams were qualified automatically: South Africa, England, New Zealand, Wales, Japan, France, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Argentina, and Fiji.

The eight remaining teams had to participate in a tournament to be qualified. The matches took place in 2022, and as a result the teams of Samoa, Georgia, Uruguay, Tonga, Namibia, Romania, Chile, and Portugal got a chance to fight for victory in 2023.
