What is RugbyPass?
RugbyPass is the global digital media platform of rugby — founded in 2016 in New Zealand as a streaming service, and since 2022 owned by World Rugby itself, with news, video, statistics and live coverage across every major competition.[1] [2]
Why does it matter?
It commands the sport's largest dedicated online audience, and as the governing body's own platform its coverage — match reports, features, the RugbyPass Index — is rugby's first-party media record.[1] [2]
