World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin sees a $500 million plan for the United States to host the 2031 men’s and 2033 women’s World Cups as essential for growing the sport globally.
Beyond staging the event, the plan would involve tapping new commercial revenue streams for partnerships and giving women’s rugby a global boost. “The forecasted expense is generally understood .. in the half billion-dollar mark,” Brown said of the budget. “Plus or minus $100 million, it’s about a half a billion-dollar project for us for both of them.”
That requires World Rugby to adopt a joint venture hosting model with USA Rugby, Gilpin said, calling the old bid model “very limiting strategically” but noting it eases risk on the host governing body. Ross Young, USA Rugby’s chief executive, said that investment in items often funded by hosts also gives World Rugby greater say in decisions.
“We haven’t talked about revenue splits because it becomes about reinvestment essentially,” Gilpin said, hoping to leave USA Rugby a “solid foundation to be self sufficient.”
