"We're beyond thrilled to be welcoming not one, but two Rugby World Cups to our shores. It's a game changer for rugby in this country, a once in a generation opportunity to revitalise and secure the future of the sport here and see the game we all love grow and thrive for years to come...
Wallabies legend Tim Horan tweeted that it was "the most significant moment in Australian rugby's history" since winning the 1991 World Cup. "We now have a golden decade of rugby in front of us, with the British and Irish Lions series in 2025, Rugby World Cups in 2027 and 2029, 2032 Olympic Games and a host of international men's and women's teams due to visit Australia for XVs and sevens fixtures," RA chief executive Andy Marinos said.
Using a new partnership hosting model, World Rugby wants to give the same country back-to-back World Cups, believing it will "underpin the growth of the sport."World Rugby also confirmed England as the host of the 2025 women's World Cup and the United States as the host of the 2031 and 2033 World Cups.
