The United States has officially entered the race to host the 2027 or 2031 Men’s Rugby World Cup and 2029 Women’s Rugby World Cup.
'Today marks the public launch of the United States’ bid to host the Men’s Rugby World Cup in 2027 or 2031 and the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2029.' A statement from USA Rugby read.
'This is the first time a nation has bid on both the Men’s and Women’s Rugby World Cups together and if the bid is successful, will mark the first time a Men’s Rugby World Cup has been held in North or South America. The team behind the bid has been hard at work since the United States announced it had been formally accepted as a bid candidate in June of 2021 following a robust and successful feasibility study.'
SA Rugby World Cup Bid Chair Jim Brown added that this is a proud moment for USA Rugby and believes that his organisation has a strong bid.
“This is a proud moment as we introduce our vision for a Rugby World Cup on American soil,”
“After working on this for a year now, we are confident in the strength of this bid, the support around us, the cities and stadiums interested in hosting, our country’s top-level infrastructure for large-scale sports events and the opportunity the U.S. population of sports fans presents for rugby’s growth, both domestically and globally.”
