"description": "The Rugby World Cup is an international men's rugby union competition that takes place every four years and is contested by the top 20 national teams in the world.\r\n\r\nThe tournament is administered by World Rugby, the sport's international governing body.\r\n\r\nThe first Rugby World Cup was held in 1987, and it has been held every four years since then. The current champions are South Africa, who won the 2019 tournament in Japan.\r\n\r\nThe tournament is one of the most popular sporting events in the world. The 2019 tournament was watched by an estimated 857 million people worldwide.\r\n\r\nThe 2023 Rugby World Cup will be held in France from September 8 to October 28. This will be the ninth Rugby World Cup.\r\n\r\nThe tournament will feature 20 teams, divided into four pools of five teams each. The top two teams from each pool will advance to the quarterfinals, followed by the semifinals and the final.\r\n\r\nThe final is the last match of the competition. The winning team is declared world champion and receives the <a title=\"Webb Ellis Cup\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webb_Ellis_Cup\">Webb Ellis Cup</a>.\r\n\r\nNew Zealand and South Africa are the most successful teams in the history of the tournament, with three wins each. New Zealand is the only team to have won consecutive tournaments, with their victories in 2011 and 2015.\r\n\r\nAustralia have won the competition twice, while England have one win; they are the only nation from the Northern Hemisphere to have won the competition.\r\n\r\nFrance are the only team to appear in a final without ever winning one, losing all three finals they have contested.",
