The 2019 Rugby World Cup is the ongoing TBDth Rugby World Cup, the annual 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 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 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.

Pool stage

The 16 teams were divided into 4 pools of 4, each consisting of 6 games. Teams were awarded 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw and none for a defeat. Additionally, a system of bonus points awarded one point if a team scored 4 or more tries, and one point of a team loses by 7 points or fewer. The teams finishing in the top half of the pool reach the quarter-finals.
