Rugby World Cup 2011
New Zealand promised a 'stadium of four million' and is now
preparing to become a nation of four million hosts when it welcomes
20 competing nations and around 85,000 international rugby fans for
Rugby World Cup 2011.
The IRB Rugby World Cup (RWC) is one of the largest sporting
events in the world. Held every four years, the inaugural
tournament took place in New Zealand and Australia in 1987 and
returns to New Zealand in 2011.
The eyes of the world will be on New Zealand as host of
Rugby World Cup 2011, giving the country an opportunity to
raise its profile on the global stage as a holiday and event
destination. Around 85,000 international rugby fans and
international media are expected in New Zealand for the
tournament.
As well as the spectacle of the Rugby World Cup tournament, 2011
will see a national festival where locals and visitors alike can
experience the best New Zealand has to offer.
