Event Overview:
Underpinning stunning headline numbers the Rugby World Cup 2019 (RWC19) is anticipated to deliver, such as an anticipated boost to national GDP by ¥216.6 billion, it is also nurturing a diverse legacy in Japan. This once-in-a-generation tournament holds promise for regional economies, businesses, communities and families. RWC19’s ‘Impact Beyond' legacy program has introduced the game to over 460,000 participants across the country, while sponsors are utilizing the tournament as an agent for social change. Schools and companies alike are celebrating rugby values and their transformative power to drive teamwork, diversity and ambition, all set against the backdrop of an incredible global gender shift: in 2017, more young women started to play rugby for the first time than men and now 29% of all players are female.
