2027 Men's Rugby World Cup qualifying

Common card · No. 387024

The qualification process for the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup in Australia began during the pool stages of the 2023 tournament in France, where the top three teams from each of the four pools qualified automatically for the 2027 event. With an expansion to twenty-four teams from 2027, a further twelve teams qualified through regional, cross-regional play-offs and the Final Qualification Tournament. Unlike previous years, the qualification process took place over two years (previously three), so that the qualified teams had a longer preparation time in the run-in to the World Cup in October 2027. In total 44 teams took place in 95 games to decide the 12 places available to qualifiers.
