The sport is continuing to run a strategy that best maximises its chances of growing the sport on an international level, with its global status limited to a number of set countries and regions. This year’s edition will see the competition enter unchartered territory, as Japan becomes the first Asian nation to play host, in a move away from traditional rugby nations hosting the event. World Rugby, the international federation behind the tournament, have previously been reliant on the income generated from the sports biggest competition, with revenue from broadcasting and sponsorship rights both dramatically increasing compared to non-World Cup years. Unlike bigger sports such as soccer and basketball, rugby is a sport in which fans and players prioritise success at international level as opposed to club or domestic level. With this in mind, the World Cup is the pinnacle of the sport for both fans and players alike. *All Data within this report has been collated from the Sportcal Intelligence Centres and is correct as of 1/09/2019 unless otherwise specified.

THE 2019 RUGBY WORLD CUP sportcal.com | +44 (0) 20 8944 8786 | [email protected] 3 Rugby World Cup 2019 The first edition of the Rugby World Cup was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand in 1987. Since then the sports premier competition has seen four different winners of which New Zealand are the most successful nation with three individual wins. The competition initially began with 16 teams but was later expanded in 1999 to 20 teams and five groups of four. This was later altered in 2003 to the current system of four groups of five teams. The competition has a three tier sponsorship structure that sees brands placed into categories of ‘Worldwide partner’, ‘official sponsor’ and ‘tournament Founded: suppliers’. In a major change to the sponsorship roster, Japanese brand Suntory replaces Coca-Cola as the official soft drinks supplier, ending the US 1987 brands association with the competition which began in 1995. Much anticipation has been built around this years tournament, the first held in Asia and hosted by a country not regarded as one of the top ranked rugby nations, as the sport looks to expand its global reach. Presenting a further challenge, Confederation: the tournament is hosted by a nation which does not boast a passionate rugby following, with event tickets expected to fall on 2015’s showing. This said, World Rugby brands have seemingly jumped at the chance to get involved in its sponsorship, with a full collection of worldwide partners attained as well as a further 14 smaller partners. Many of these brands have been involved in the development of the sport in Japan and across the world, with Mitsubishi Estates Number of teams: launching the ‘Marunouchi 15 – Chome project’, putting on exhibitions throughout Japan to drive interest in the competition. 20 Current Champions: Plans for the competition includes each team receiving a unique welcoming ceremony, where all squad players will receive a RWC’19 cap, with all team New Zealand members (including staff) receiving a participation medal.

Spark is to stream coverage of matches across a new OTT platform, offering full tournament and individual match subscription passes. Fans who purchased a ‘super early bird’ tournament pass to paid NZ$59.99 ($40.50), a price that rose incrementally to NZ$79.99 and NZ$89.99. The rights to 12 games were sub-licensed to free-to-air broadcaster TVNZ, some live and others with a delay of up to two hours. All of New Zealand's matches, both semi-finals and the final will be shown live on TVNZ. There will be limited coverage of the tournament in South Africa, one of the game’s heartlands. The financial issues facing SABC, the public-service broadcaster, meant that purchasing the rights directly or striking a sub-licensing deal with rights holder SuperSport was simply not commercially viable. However, an eleventh hour deal with IMG for audio rights covering four of South Africa’s matches, plus the two semi-finals and the final, meant that a total free-to-air blackout was avoided. The radio coverage is available across the Afrikaans-language RSG, English-language Radio 2000 and Xhosa-language Umhlobo Wenene channels.
