The Rugby World Cup is contested every four years between the top
international teams. The tournament was first held in 1987, when the
tournament was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia. The winners are
awarded the Webb Ellis Cup, named after William Webb Ellis, the Rugby
School pupil who, according to a popular legend, invented rugby by
picking up the ball during a football game. Four countries have won
the trophy; New Zealand three times, Australia and South Africa each
twice, and England once. New Zealand are the current champions, having
defeated Australia in the final of the 2015 tournament in England.
Japan will host the 2019 Rugby World Cup and France will host in 2023.
This book is a collector’s edition featuring images and details from
every World Cup since 1975: a must for every Rugby fan.
