Weather key for 2011
November 17, 2006
THE 2011 World Cup in New Zealand will be staged in September and October, the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) said this morning.
The exact dates of the tournament have not yet been decided.
"We are committed to staging the best Rugby World Cup possible. The confirmation of the tournament timing is ideal for us in terms of weather considerations and the opportunities to showcase New Zealand at that time of the year," said New Zealand 2011 Ltd chairman Jock Hobbs in a statement.
France will stage the sixth Rugby World Cup next year, with the host playing Argentina in the first match in Paris on September 7.
