The 2021 Rugby World Cup, to be hosted by Satavia, is scheduled to be held in Mid January 2021, until February of that year. This marks the first time that the tournament has been hosted by Satavia, and also the first time that the cup will be held in Asteria Inferior. 20 countries qualified, and xx countries will make their World Cup debuts.

The Rugby World Cup's group stages are synced with each other, with the first matches occuring on Friday 15th January, with the opening match of the tournament being held at 8:00 in the evening, Satavian Standard Time, and will be between Caldia and Rwizikuru.

Bid

WorldRugby, the main international union for Rugby Union, and owner of the Rugby World Cup, announced biding for the 2021 Rugby World Cup in 2016. Four bids were submitted: Satavia, Tacunia, Nuvania and Masari. Masari's bid was withdrawn in early 2017, with the aim of instead hosting either 2025 or the 2029 world cup. Nuvania also withdrew it's bid, in order to strengthen the Satavian bid against Tacunia. Voting began in Caldia by the WorldRugby Host Committee (which includes former players, coaches and union representatives) following the end of the 2017 cup, and 72 votes were cast for Satavia, whilst 29 were cast for Tacunia.
