South Africa set to host Rugby World Cup 2023

The 2023 Rugby World Cup will be held in South Africa.
South Africa has been recommended to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup ahead of Ireland and France, the tournament's organising board has announced.

The World Rugby Council will convene in London on 15 November to confirm their decision as hosts for 2023. South Africa is all but guaranteed to pip Ireland and France, with World Rugby’s council unlikely to go against its board.

“The board made its recommendation following detailed consideration of the comprehensive host candidate evaluation report,” read the board’s statement. “In line with World Rugby’s mission to deliver a ground-breaking, rigorous and fully transparent host selection process for its showcase event, the report is being published today as agreed by council.”
