Hosts Selection Criteria For the World Cup

Tournaments are voted on by the IRB member nations and are organised by Rugby World Cup Ltd (RWCL). This decides what nation(s) will host the tournament, with the voting procedure managed by a team of independent auditors, and the voting kept secret. All the tournaments thus far have been held in nations in which rugby union is a popular sport, this trend continued when New Zealand was awarded the 2011 event ahead of Japan, a traditionally weaker rugby nation in comparison to New Zealand. The allocation of a tournament to a host nation is now made five or six years prior to the commencement of the particular event, as New Zealand were awarded the 2011 event in late 2005.

The tournament has in the past been hosted by either a single or multiple nation(s). For example the 1987 tournament was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The IRB requires that a host nation must have a 60,000 (minimum) capacity venue for the final. Host nations sometimes construct or upgrade stadia in preparation for the World Cup; such as Millennium Stadium – purpose built for the 1999 tournament or the upgrade of Eden Park for 2011.
