“First Nations Championship Rugby Finals Set for London, Qatar, and Potentially the U.S. by 2030”

Rugby union officials have finalized plans for the Nations Championship, with the inaugural finals set to take place in London, followed by Qatar, and potentially the United States in the future. According to the ambitious proposal, which is expected to be officially approved later this month, Twickenham Stadium will host the first Nations Championship final in 2026. The tournament will then transition to Qatar in 2028, with an option for the event to be held in the United States in 2030. This initiative marks a significant step in the global expansion of rugby, featuring a series of playoffs involving twelve nations competing in a biennial six-match series.
