Sydney will host the 2027 Rugby World Cup final, confirmed by World Rugby. This marks a return to the city 24 years after hosting the 2003 final when England defeated the Wallabies at the same venue, Stadium Australia.
The stadium, a sprawling 82,000-seat venue that also held the 2000 Olympics, is set for not just the final but also the semi-finals and several other key matches, cementing Sydney's win over Australia's other bidding cities.
While Melbourne had shown interest in hosting the final, it fell short, securing only two round-of-16 and seven pool matches. The tournament is expected to bring in 250,000 international visitors, generating significant revenue.
