2019 Rugby World Cup will be the ninth Rugby World Cup, to be held in Japan from 20 September to 2 November. It will be the first time this tournament is held in Asia, the first time a tournament has been staged in the same hemisphere, and also the first time that the event will take place outside the traditional heart of the sport.
Hong Kong and Singapore have expressed an interest to host several games and are included as part of a successful JRFU original hosting attempt to World Rugby (known at the time of bidding as the International Rugby Board, or IRB) but not among the fourteen locations announced by organizers of Japan 2019 on November 5, 2014 who formally bid for the right to hold the game.
The opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup will take place at Tokyo Stadium in Ch? Fu, and the final match will be held at Yokohama International Stadium in Kanagawa. The placement of this venue was announced in September 2015 when plans for the tournament were revised by the organizing committee of Japan and accepted by World Rugby. The National Olympic Stadium, rebuilt for the 2020 Summer Olympics, was originally the centerpiece of the Rugby World Cup bid Japan, but a revision to the Olympic Stadium plan mandated a change of place for the World Cup.

Bid
IRB requested that every union member wishing to host the 2019 or 2015 Rugby World Cup should show their interest on August 15, 2008. It is merely to show interest; no details should be given at this stage. The record of ten unions indicates an interest in organizing events in 2015 and/or 2019. The 2019 tournament received interest from nine different countries.
Jamaica is the most shocking union to announce an interest in organizing the event, considering they have never participated in the World Cup before, though they are quickly retreating. Russia also initially announced plans to bid for the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, but withdrew both bids in February 2009 to support what proved to be a successful bid for the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens. Australia withdrew from the bidding process on May 6, 2009.
Three potential hosts - Italy, Japan and South Africa - were announced on May 8, 2009. At a special meeting held in Dublin on July 28, 2009, the International Rugby Board (IRB) insists that England will host the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and Japan will organized the 2019 event. IRB voted 16-10 to approve recommendations from Rugby World Cup Ltd (RWCL) that the UK and Japan should be named host.

Venues
IRB, RWC Ltd, JRFU and Japanese organizers 2019 undergo the process of requesting expression of interest, and meet with and explain the terms of hosting the game to interested parties from the end of 2013. In May it was announced that twenty-two municipalities and/or or prefectural organizations have declared his interest from all over Japan. Interested organizations are required to enter an official offer on October 31, 2014. At a press conference on November 5 in Tokyo, Japan 2019 organizers announced that bids from fourteen regions have been received. Secretary-General of the organizing committee, Mr. Akira Shimazu suggested that among the twenty-two interested parties, Yokohama (Yokohama International Stadium, the venue for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Final), and Denka Big Swan Stadium Niigata, also the 2002 FIFA World Cup venue decided not to bid. Shimazu added that Yokohama's decision not to bargain meant that it was actually the initial conclusion that the new National Stadium in Tokyo would host both the semi-finals, and third place playoffs in addition to the opening and final games.
There have been a number of changes to the places submitted in the original JRFU offerings in 2009. None of them are Hong Kong and Singapore. All games will be in Japan. JRFU's Chichibunomiya stadium in Tokyo that may be expected to host a smaller interest match in the capital is gone. JRFU also packed the larger multi-purpose stadium, and the more modern 50,000-place Nagai as the preferred venue for the game in Osaka in 2009 but Osaka Municipal and East Osaka City government have awarded the Hanazono Rugby Stadium which they plan to republish as an option for Osaka. East Osaka City will take over the stadium from the old company owner Kintetsu in April 2015. Kamaishi, Shizuoka, Kyoto, Oita, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto are all places that are not part of JRFU's offer. While the offer includes a venue from a vast area of ​​Japan, the two parts will not be involved in hosting. The first area is Hokushin'etsu (Hokuriku area and Koshin'etsu region), which includes Niigata city, and both Chugoku Areas, including Hiroshima, and Shikoku Island nearby. No city in the last region was made a place for the match at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but Hiroshima hosted the match at the FIBA ​​World Championship in 2006.
On July 17, 2015, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that plans to build a new National Stadium would be canceled and sacrificed amid public discontent over the cost of building the stadium. As a result, the new stadium will not be ready until the 2020 Summer Olympics. World Rugby released a statement saying that they were very disappointed with the announcement "despite repeated guarantees against the Japan Rugby Organizing Committee 2019 and Japan Sports Council" "need to consider options related to the impact of the announcement ()."
In September 2015, World Rugby approved a revised 2017 Rugby committee roadmap for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, which seeks to resolve the lack of space caused by the construction of a floundering National Stadium. It was agreed that the initially proposed National Stadium stadium would be borne by Ajinomoto Stadium in Chou (suburb of Tokyo), which will host the opening ceremony and opening match, and the Yokohama Stadium, which will host the final. The full list of Rugby World Cup 2019 places is:
Qualification
Fifteen teams now have secured their place in the 2019 tournament. They are the top three teams in each of the four pools at the 2015 Rugby World Cup which thus automatically qualify for the next tournament.

The remaining eight spaces are determined by regional slots and regional play-offs.
