Rugby in the United States has a long history dating back to the 1800s, but never a north star to aim for. Until now.
The catalyst: The United States’ formal bid for the Rugby World Cup in 2031 and Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2033. The bid is unopposed, and it has delivered on what the World Rugby Council wanted to see from a winning proposal.
While that time frame still feels a long way out, Glendale-based USA Rugby is banking on using the ensuing years to grow the game so that it’s ready to take off once the World Cup arrives. The World Rugby Council is set to decide next Thursday in Dublin if the U.S. will officially get the bid.“The last thing we’re here to do is to compete with the traditional football, basketball, baseball, hockey and even soccer,” Ross told The Post Wednesday.
Jim Brown, the bid chair who led the charge for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, knows how competitive these bids can be. But World Rugby recently changed its strategy. Instead of countries bidding against each other, the new approach is to find a suitable location willing to bid, then initiate detailed discussions to clearly communicate expectations.
“The one big difference between the past bids I’ve worked on and this: step-by-step, we’ve been working closely to World Rugby,” Brown said. “… That’s not to say that they went out of their way to help us, but they certainly went out of their way to make sure that we were understanding what they needed to see and that we were able to deliver.”is central to USA Rugby’s plan moving forward.
