Men’s Rugby World Cup Australia 2027
The 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup runs in Australia from 1 October to 13 November, the first with 24 teams: 52 matches in eight stadiums across seven cities, and a round of 16 for the first time. The opener on 1 October in Perth pits Australia against debutants Hong Kong China; the final is on 13 November at Stadium Australia in Sydney. General sale opened on 1 October, with adult tickets from AUD 40 and children’s from AUD 20, with no booking fees.
On 1 October Australia meet debutants Hong Kong China in Perth.
For followers of Asian rugby, a first World Cup appearance is reason enough to be there; for first-timers, watch how the stronger side builds its attack and how the newcomers hold their ground.
South Africa start their bid for a third straight title against Italy in Adelaide on 3 October.
The new round of 16 adds one more knockout step after the pools; knockout rugby is where every mistake is magnified by pressure.
