Unsurprisingly, World Rugby, the international federation, unveiled this Thursday the host countries of the next World Cups, after that of 2023 which will be organized in France.
First of all, in 2025, the Women's World Cup will take place in England, the country of the Red Roses, the best team in the world today.

For the next editions of the world games, the chosen host country will organise, at two-year intervals, the men's and women's editions.
As planned, Australia will organize the men's World Cup in 2027 and then the women's in 2029, then the United States in 2031 (men) and 2033 (women).
In its conquest of new territories, World Rugby has therefore decided to attack the United States for the first time.
It will not be, however, a first on the American continent since Canada had already hosted the women's edition in 2010, which was won by the New Zealand Black Ferns.
"The new model will promote the global growth of rugby in new markets, attracting new fans and participants,"
said the international body.
“Today we have named three exceptional Rugby World Cup host nations – England, Australia and the United States – providing unprecedented certainty and a unique opportunity to drive the growth and reach of the Rugby World Cup. rugby in the world. It's great for rugby, for the fans and for the host nations,
England's Bill Beaumont, chairman of World Rugby, said in a statement.
The
confirmation of the destinations is based on a new partnership approach to the organization of tournaments, which will promote sustainable development, particularly in the United States and for women's rugby, allowing the sport to realize its potential on and off the field and generating significant socio-economic benefits for host countries.”
And to add:
“Today is a historic moment for the sport, and a tremendous step forward for the supporters.
I would like to congratulate all the people who have contributed to making this dream a reality, participating directly in the realization of our vision of making rugby a global sport for all.”
