Rugby fans planning to travel to Australia for the 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup will have access to official hospitality packages through 10 appointed agencies operating across seven countries.

Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 (RWC 2027) and Rugby World Cup Experiences (RWCE) have confirmed the appointment of the agencies authorised to market and sell official hospitality packages for the tournament, which will run from October 1 to November 13, 2027, in Australia.

The announcement follows an international selection process that attracted 45 agency registrations. After reviewing the applications, RWCE, the exclusive global rights holder for the hospitality programme, selected 10 agencies to represent the tournament across international markets.

The appointed agencies include representatives from established rugby nations such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and France, alongside emerging markets India and the United Arab Emirates.

RWC 2027 Managing Director Chris Stanley said the strong international interest reflected growing excitement surrounding the tournament, adding that the selected agencies would help attract supporters from a wider range of countries.

He noted that organisers are preparing to welcome more than 250,000 international visitors to Australia, with the hospitality partners expected to play an important role in helping travelling fans access premium tournament experiences.

RWCE Event Director David MacCallum described the appointments as an important development in expanding the programme’s international reach.

He said working with established agencies across key markets would make official hospitality experiences more accessible while providing visitors with opportunities to enjoy the tournament and Australia’s tourism offerings.

The appointed agencies will serve as authorised channels for purchasing official hospitality packages, as organisers prepare for what is expected to be the biggest Men’s Rugby World Cup ever staged.
