Event Information

Australia

Australia is a varied and beautiful country, a continent in itself, filled with a unique array of landscapes that range from red ochre desert to brilliantly coloured coral reefs and fascinating cities. Most of the population lives on the coast, as the internal Australian outback can reach extreme temperatures during the summer, and plummet during the mid-year winter. Australia is made up of six states: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania, which is a small island off the coast of Melbourne. Each state brings with it a unique history, culinary heritage and sense of pride. Some of Australia’s top attractions include the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (home to Uluru, formally known as Ayers Rock), the Great Barrier Reef, Bondi Beach off the east coast and the most populated city in the country, Sydney.

What are the changes to the Rugby World Cup in 2027?
The Rugby World Cup 2027 will expand to 24 teams, introducing a new format with six pools of four teams. A round of 16 will follow the pool stage, reducing the tournament length from seven to six weeks while maintaining sufficient rest days for players.
The qualification process includes the top 12 teams from Rugby World Cup 2023 automatically qualifying. The remaining slots will be determined through regional qualifiers and play-offs.
World Rugby plans to hold the pool draw as close to the tournament as possible, ensuring it reflects the latest global rankings and competitiveness. This approach aims to avoid uneven pools seen in previous tournaments.
