2019橄榄球世界杯赛开幕
2019年9月20日
橄榄球世界杯赛 (Rugby World Cup，简称RWC)是国际橄榄球理事会(IRB)的全球瞩目的首要赛事，由各参赛国的男子国家队参赛。1987年，首届橄榄球世界杯赛由澳大利亚和新西兰联合主办，之后每隔4年举办一次。
2007年法国橄榄球世界杯赛于10月20日晚在巴黎法兰西体育场落下帷幕，南非队在决赛中战胜卫冕冠军英格兰队捧走冠军奖杯。2011年橄榄球世界杯在新西兰进行，东道主新西兰在决赛中险胜法国队夺得冠军。2015年橄榄球世界杯将在英格兰进行。2019年橄榄球世界杯申办国包括牙买加、俄罗斯、澳洲、意大利、日本、南非、爱尔兰、苏格兰。最终日本获得了盛会的举办权，新加坡、香港作为分会场亦承办部分赛事。
Todays Doodle celebrates the Opening Day of the Rugby World Cup, kicking off today inside Tokyos Ajinomoto Stadium. Held every four years since 1987, this year is the first time in history that the tournament will be held in Asia, with a match between host country Japan and Russia.
Twenty teams are competing this year for a chance to bring home the Webb Ellis Cup, named after a 19th century schoolboy in the British Midlands town of Rugby, Warwickshire. “With a fine disregard for the rules of the game as played in his time,” as one historian wrote, William Webb Ellis grabbed the ball and ran with it, innovating a centuries-old game that would come to be known as modern rugby.
Defending champions New Zealand have won the Webb Ellis Cup three times, Australia and South Africa twice, and England once in 2003.
Best of luck to all the competing teams!
