The country that held the 1999 rugby world cup, was France. Australia and South Africa today both boast the feat of winning 2 world cups each, New Zealand have only won once and England have only won once.
However Australia played the experienced French outfit in the final and won by a staggering 35 - 12 margin definitely not what people expected.
Spain also entered their first ever Rugby World Cup.
the past world cups:
1987- New Zealand
1991- Australia
1995- South Africa
1999- France
2003- Australia
2007- France
2011- New Zealand
The Rugby World Cup competition of 1999 was held in Wales.
My country! New Zealand
Wales officially hosted the 1999 tournament and the final was played in Cardff but other matches were played in Scotland, Ireland, France and England.
France hosted the 2007 World cup
The 1991 Rugby World Cup final was held at Twickenham Stadium, in London, England.
I think it will be played in Republic of Ireland.
The Rugby World Cup was not held in 2012. It was hosted in 2011 by New Zealand and by England in 2015
The first Rugby Union World Cup was held in 1987 and won by New Zealand.
The rugby world championship is held every four years and varies in where it is held each time. The latest championship for rugby union was held in France though.
The Rugby World Cup is being held in 2011 in New Zealand.
Nothing at all happened in the 2000 Rugby World Cup as there was not one. Rugby World Cups are held every four years with first being in 1987, hence 1999 and 2003 were the ones on either side of 2000
The Rugby World Cup has been held 6 times so far. The first one was held in 1987, and every four years after, so 1991, 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2007.
