The next Rugby World Cup final in men’s rugby union (the 2027 tournament in Australia) is scheduled for 13 November 2027.

Since today is in early 2026, that means:

  • The most recent final was the 2023 Rugby World Cup final (New Zealand vs South Africa) played on 28 October 2023 in Paris.
  • The upcoming World Cup in Australia will run from 1 October to 13 November 2027, with the final on 13 November 2027.

If you were asking about the Rugby League World Cup instead, the 2026 men’s and women’s finals are planned for Sunday, 15 November 2026 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
