Rugby World Cup 2019 Schedule

Copa Mundial de Rugby 2019 Calendario completo, Partidos de hoy y Partidos siguiente.

> The 2019 Rugby World Cup will be the ninth Rugby World Cup, to be held in Japan from September 20 to November 2. This will be the first time the tournament is to be held in Asia, the first time consecutive tournaments have been staged in the same hemisphere, and also the first time that the event will take place outside the traditional heartland of the sport.

> Eighteen teams have currently secured their place in the 2019 tournament. They are the top three teams in each of the four pools at the 2015 Rugby World Cup who thereby automatically qualify for the next tournament. Japan finished third in Pool B during the 2015 Rugby World Cup and so finished in a qualifying position — however, by virtue of hosting the tournament, Japan were assured qualification for the tournament before the 2015 Rugby World Cup took place. The remaining eight spaces are decided by regional slots and cross regional play-offs.

> Each pool is a single round-robin of ten games, in which each team plays

one match against each of the other teams in the same pool. Teams are awarded

four points for a win, two points for a draw and none for a defeat. A team

scoring four or more tries in one match will score a bonus point, as will a

team that loses by seven points or fewer.

> The teams finishing in the top two of each pool will advance to the

quarter-finals. The top three teams of each pool will receive automatic

qualification to the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
