World Rugby has approved plans to set up a new international league competition as part of part of a radical shake-up of the global calendar.
In addition to a competition that has been tentatively named the ‘Nations Cup’, World Rugby’s council has given the go-ahead to the expansion of the World Cup to 24 teams in time for Australia 2027. Including the first-ever dedicated women’s and men’s calendars from 2026 and expansion of Rugby World Cup to 24 teams in 2027The revised format will consist of six pools of four teams and will see the creation of a round of 16 to take place before the quarter-finals.
Even though the number of sides is to be increased, the adjustment means the World Cup can be reduced from seven to six weeks from October 1 to November 13, 2027, while providing the same number of minimum rest days.
