Rugby World Cup 2007
The Rugby World Cup is the premier international rugby union competition in the World. The event is organized by the sport's governing body, the International Rugby Board ("IRB"). The inaugural tournament was held in 1987, hosted by both Australia and New Zealand, and is now contested every four years.
The winners are awarded the Webb Ellis Cup, named after the Rugby School pupil credited with the game's invention.
The title of world champion is currently held by South Africa, who won the 2007 tournament held in France when they beat England in the final. The next Rugby World Cup will be hosted in New Zealand during September and October of 2011.
