The Rugby World Cup began in 1987, initiated by the International Rugby Board (IRB) to create a global tournament for the sport. The inaugural event was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia, featuring 16 teams competing in a knockout format. The tournament aimed to enhance the profile of rugby union internationally, and it has since grown into one of the most prestigious events in the sport, held every four years. New Zealand emerged as the first champions, defeating France in the final.
