Rugby Union World Cup

The Rugby World Cup is the premier international Rugby Union contest in the world, first held jointly in Australia and New Zealand in 1987 and now held every four years. The prize is the "William Webb Ellis Trophy" (known in Australia as "Bill") named after the pupil of Rugby School credited, probably apocryphally, with the game's invention. It is currently held by England.
