The '''2019 Rugby World Cup''' is the ongoing TBDth [[Rugby World Cup (Aeia)|Rugby World Cup]], the annual [[wikipedia:Rugby union|rugby union]] world championship. The tournament is being held in [[Vidoria]] from 29 September to 1 November. This is the first time the tournament has been held in [[Rennekka]], and the first time in TBD years that the tournament has been held outside of [[Asura]], as part of an ongoing globalisation plan by the [[International Rugby Board|IRB]].

The opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, played by [[Vidoria]] and [[Liberimery]], was held in Estadio Dieguas in [[Sejoria]], and the final will be held in [[Arena Nacional]], [[Aljuá]].

==Host Selection==

On April 12, 2011, the [[International Rugby Board|IRB]] requested that any nations interested in hosting the 2015-2019 Rugby World Cup events should indicate their interests by 2013, but no specific date was provided for the due date. The Lhedwinic bid was announced on 4 April 2012, and the Vidorian bid was announced on 15 January 2013. On 16 March 2014, the IRB announced that the ballot was to occur in 2015.

The IRB announced that Vidoria would host the 2019 Rugby World Cup on 15 September 2015. It outbid the Lhedwinic bid by a majority of 5.
