World Rugby hopes the success of the tournament in Japan will inspire countries from outside the traditional strongholds
The hosts for the 2027 and 2031 Rugby World Cups will be decided at the same time with the organisers hoping that the success of the tournament in Japan will inspire countries from outside the traditional strongholds, such as the United States, to bid.
The process will start in November next year and while South Africa (which has not staged the event since 1995) Australia and England will be potential bidders, with World Rugby looking for one of the tournaments to guarantee it a bumper profit, the organisers see commercial growth in North and South America.
