Your Rugby World Cup 2027 Australia travel experience starts here.
The excitement is building as Australia gears up to host the 11th edition of Rugby World Cup in 2027. Australia will be the first nation to host the tournament three times, having previously co-hosted with New Zealand in 1987 and held it exclusively in 2003.
This upcoming Rugby World Cup is the centrepiece of a golden decade of rugby in Australia. The fixtures kick off with the British & Irish Lions series in 2025, followed by the men’s Rugby World Cup in 2027, the women’s Rugby World Cup in 2029, and the Olympics in 2032. In between these events, there will be plenty of other international fixtures and series to look forward to.
