Format
Qualification
Qualifying tournaments were introduced in for the second tournament, where eight of the 16 places were contested in a 32 nation tournament. The inaugural World Cup in 1987, did not involve any qualifying process, instead, the 16 places were automatically filled by seven eligible International Rugby Football Board (IRFB, now, International Rugby Board) member nations, and the rest by invitation. The current format allows for eight of the 20 available positions to be filled by automatic qualification, as the eight quarter finalists of the previous tournament enter its successor.
