Swissôtel Sydney - Luxury hotel - Where to stay for Rugby World Cup 2027

Rugby World Cup is coming back to Australia for the third time, and this one might be the biggest one yet. First held in Australia in 1987 and then again in 2003, it will be the first time the Rugby World Cup has returned to Australia in 24 years.

Where to Stay in Sydney for Rugby World Cup 2027

Where to stay in Sydney for Rugby World Cup 2027 is one of the first decisions fans should make when planning their trip to Australia’s biggest sporting event.

Sydney will be one of the major host cities for the Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027, with matches taking place at Stadium Australia and Sydney Football Stadium.
