Australia has been chosen to host both the men’s Rugby World Cup in 2027 and the women’s event in 2029.
The announcement came on Thursday, following a vote by the World Rugby Council in Dublin, and means that the men’s tournament will be held down under for the third time, after the inaugural event in 1987 and once again in 2003, while the women’s tournament will grace Australian shores for the first time, Rugby Australia reported.
