Sydney's 83,000-seat Olympic Stadium will once again host a Rugby World Cup final, this time in 2027 and 24 years after the home team was left bitterly disappointed in the championship match against England.

Former England captain Alastair Cook believes there are “two or three years of hard work” ahead of the English women after being “20 per cent behind Australia in everything” this Ashes.

Rugby World Cup final will be held in Sydney, marking 24 years since its last final. The tournament will include 24 teams and is expected to bring 250,000 international visitors, generating A$1.3 billion.

The marquee match of the Ashes is about to begin, with Australia and England to clash in a historic day-night Test at the MCG.

The host cities have even confirmed ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, with Sydney announced as host of the Final. Sydney will host the decider for the second time in history following 2003, when England were victors over the Wallabies in extra-time at Accor Stadium, know previously as Stadium Australia.

The 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup will take place in seven Australian cities, culminating in a grand finale at Sydney's Accor Stadium. The 83,000-seat venue, also referred to as Sydney's Olympic Stadium, hosted the exciting 2003 final when England clinched the coveted title.
