The 2021 Rugby World Cup was the eleventh edition of the Rugby World Cup, hosted in Satavia and held from 15 January to 17 March across twelve stadiums in Satavia. The opening match between Caldia and Rwizikuru was played at the Stadium of the Satavians, Port Hope where the final was also held. The tournament marked the second time the tournament had been hosted in Asteria Inferior (after the 1993 tournament, held in Nuvania) and the first time Satavia had hosted.

The tournament saw 20 nations compete, with two (Alsland and Gapolania) making their debuts having succesfully qualified for the first time. Garambura went on to beat hosts Satavia 28-17 in the final to claim their second title, whilst defending champions Caldia defeated Rizealand 17-3 to clinch third place.

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, Rizealand, 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 Masari's bid was withdrawn in early 2017, with the aim of instead hosting either 2025 or the 2029 world cup.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 Rizealand. 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 Rizealand.
