Argentina Launches Bid for 2035 Rugby World Cup Hosting

Argentina has announced its official bid to host the 2035 Rugby World Cup, becoming a candidate for the first time. The bid is presented in collaboration with Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil, with technical information submitted to World Rugby.

Felix Paez Molina, president of the Argentine rugby union, stated that this candidacy is a significant step for Argentine rugby and the region, emphasizing the opportunity to demonstrate their passion for the sport and ability to organize major events. Argentina is the only country that has reached a World Cup semifinal without hosting the tournament.

World Rugby will select the successful candidate in November 2027. Argentina has participated in every World Cup since its inception in 1987.

Uruguay and Chile have qualified for the upcoming tournament, while Brazil has yet to qualify. Spain and Japan have also expressed interest in hosting the 2035 tournament.
