Revealed at an event at London’s Battersea Power Station live on the BBC and in front of fans and members of the media, the arrival of the sport’s biggest tournament in England is gathering pace with more tickets now available to buy.
Crafted in sterling silver and plated with 24-carat gold, the newly designed trophy fuses history and future by retaining the iconic twin handles of the original prize while introducing a sleek, oval silhouette, with names of past champions engraved on its base acknowledging the trailblazers who have shaped the game.
The world map etched into the surface symbolises the game’s universal reach, celebrating the nations that have competed on the Rugby World Cup stage and the new stars who will carry the game forward.
Former World Cup champions and legends of the game were involved in the trophy’s design process, including Rachael Burford, Gill Burns, Monalisa Codling, Katy Daley-McLean, Fiao’o Fa’amausili, Sarah Hunter, Farah Palmer, Anna Richards, and Melodie Robinson.
There is unstoppable momentum building in England with a record 300,000 tickets already snapped up, more than double the total attendance from three years ago in New Zealand, and a further wave of tickets released to coincide with the trophy reveal and 100 days to go.
The new trophy will now embark on a three-week tour of the eight host locations across England throughout May and June, setting off from London, before continuing to Brighton & Hove, Exeter, Bristol, Northampton, Manchester, York and finishing in Sunderland.
