The trophy which was created in 1906, was chosen in 1987 as an appropriate cup for use in the competition.

Programme Report World Rugby
World Rugby House, 8-10 Pembroke Street Lower, Dublin 2, D02 AE93, Ireland. T: +353-1-2409-200 E: [email protected] Programme Report World Rugby On behalf of World Rugby, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in the outstanding achievements of the Impact Beyond 2019 programme. When the World Rugby Council awarded Rugby World Cup 2019 to Japan, we believed that it had the potential to be a powerful game-changer for rugby in Asia, the world’s most populous and youthful continent. In order to convert this potential into reality, the innovative Impact Beyond 2019 programme was created. The programme is closely aligned with World Rugby’s mission to grow the game globally and make a positive social impact through the power of rugby, leaving a long-lasting and sustainable legacy from our flagship event. The World Rugby programme, run in partnership with the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU), Asia Rugby and 22 unions, has delivered truly impressive results. It was right at the heart of a very special and record-breaking Rugby World Cup 2019 and surpassed all expectations by achieving an incredible 2.25 million new rugby participants across Asia, including more than one million in Japan. Rugby is more than just a game and as part of the Impact Beyond programme more than £2m was pledged in a fantastic show of solidarity from the global rugby family to support ChildFund Pass It Back, the principal Rugby World Cup 2019 charity partner. Funds raised are transforming the lives of over 25,000 vulnerable children in disadvantaged communities across Asia through an integrated life skills and rugby curriculum.
