- Following record attendance at the Women's Rugby World Cup, World Rugby has said it intends to invest over $250 million in the American rugby market to support growth and inspire new fans.
- The 27 cities include 33 potential venues, with some offering more than one stadium, and World Rugby and USA Rugby will review applications over the next 14 months, starting visits this year.
