Australia has launched its’ bids to host the men's Rugby World Cup in 2027 and the women's event in 2021.
The 2019 Rugby World Cup will be held in Japan while the 2023 event bid was controversially won by France last month after voters ignored a World Rugby evaluation report that said South Africa had the strongest bid.
Australia has never hosted the women's World Cup.
The eighth version was held in Ireland earlier this year.
