Six available spots for RWC 2023

World Cup 2023 is advancing and in the back of all international players’ and coaches’ minds. 

The spectacle is set to be played out in France where 20 teams from around the world will meet and battle it out for the Webb Ellis trophy. 

However, there still remain six spots up for grabs for participation in the tournament, which will be awarded as follows: 

• Rugby Europe Championship 2022 to deliver two direct qualifiers by March 

• Rugby Africa Cup 2022, organised in France in July, to determine Africa 1 

• Contested Americas 2 and Asia/Pacific play-offs to take place in July 

• Final Qualification Tournament in November to complete RWC 2023 line-up 

Teams that narrowly missed out on qualification via the regional competitions will take part in the RWC 2023 Final Qualification Tournament – round robin format – in November.
