Australia to launch its bid to host Rugby World Cup 2027
Australia will formally announced their bid to host the 2027 Rugby World Cup this morning in Sydney.
The announcement will made at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney on Thursday, with Rugby Australia and the Bid Advisory Board unveils the ‘Game On’ campaign.
RA Chairman Hamish McLennan believes that the opportunity for the country to host its second men's World Cup is significant for the country and the Pacific region.
“This is an exciting day for all Australians as we formally put our hand up to host the third-largest sporting event in the world," he said in a statement.
“Hosting Rugby World Cup 2027 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Australia, which would drive substantial economic outcomes for our country, while also providing a lasting legacy for Rugby in this region.
“It would also allow us to support the Australian Government’s ambitions around major events in what is shaping up to be a green and gold decade for the nation – from the FIBA Women’s World Cup in 2022, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2022, FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023, the British and Irish Lions Tour in 2025, Netball World Cup in 2027, and the exciting potential of an Olympic Games in Queensland in 2032.
“It is also a significant opportunity for Rugby in Australia and the Pacific, with the event to provide an unrivalled opportunity to grow the game by attracting further investment, participants, officials and volunteers.
“Australia is a sports-loving nation with a vast network of world-class modern stadia. We have a proud Rugby heritage in this country and are also home to ex-pats from across the globe who love to get out and support their teams when they tour."
World Rugby will announce the successful host candidate in May 2022, with Australia entering the dialogue phase of the host selection process. -

i hadn't heard about Argentina but the article i read mentioned Russia
"Russia is the only other country that has signalled their intention to bid for the 2027 tournament, but that bid will almost certainly not be considered eligible, given Russia have been forbidden from bidding for major sporting events until the end of 2022 by a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling"

Resurrecting this
Looks like USA are going to bid.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/126744614/united-states-launches-bold-bids-for-mens-and-womens-rugby-world-cupsSounds awesome - reckon a trip around there would be sensational. I'd make an effort - take in some NFL, NCAA and rugby, eat bbq and just see some sights.
Would be good to see every other world cup going to a developing rugby nation - Argentina, USA, Japan, etc.

Totally agree. Think a US-hosted RWC would be awesome.
I also didn't even make an 'Australia' joke about rugby nations. @NTA respect?
