Rugby World Cup 2027 ticket application window now open

Fans eager to get a slice of the action at Rugby World Cup 2027 now have the chance to apply for tickets for all 52 matches at the expanded 24-team tournament.

A two-week window is currently open until 18:00 AEST (09:00 GMT) Tuesday, 2 June, with fans having an even chance of securing tickets to the biggest-ever men’s Rugby World Cup.

Just 500 days days out from the opening match between host nation Australian and Rugby World Cup debutants Hong Kong China in PeRth on 1 October, tickets can be applied for at any time via tickets.rugbyworldcup.com.

A quarter of a million tickets were snapped up from 135 different countries during the presale phase and with tickets ranging from just $40 AUD for adults and $20 AUD for children, demand is expected to be exceptionally high.

However, where demand exceeds availability, a ballot system will be used for oversubscribed matches and price categories. Al applications will be treated equally regardless of when they are submitted during the allocated fortnight.

Fans can also benefit from the ‘All Out Advantage’ feature, allowing them to accept alternative price categories to improve their chances of success, while ‘high demand’ indicators will help buyers gauge levels of interest for matches.

Following the conclusion of the two-week application phase, fans who applied for tickets will be notified of their results via email from Tuesday, 23 June 2026.

Speaking at the 500 Days to Go milestone event in Brisbane, one of the RWC 2027 host cities, Rugby World Cup 2027 Managing Director Chris Stanley said: “As the excitement continues to build for next year’s Men’s Rugby World Cup, it’s fantastic to mark 500 days to go and bring the Webb Ellis Cup back to Brisbane for the first time in over two decades.

“Celebrating this milestone alongside hundreds of young fans today was a powerful reminder of the role the tournament will play in inspiring the next generation to discover and fall in love with rugby. We’ve already seen strong demand following a record-breaking Presale and with the ticket Application Phase now open, fans are encouraged to apply to secure their place at what will be the most exciting Men’s Rugby World Cup to date.

“With matches set to take place across the country, this will be a truly national celebration of rugby, and we look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to Australia in 2027.”
