Rugby (Union) / World Cup
WOMEN
Although there had been some previous tournaments (Wales 91, Scotland 94), the 1998 world cup was the first official IRB approved World Cup for women. However, since 2009 the IRB has included these two editions in the list of winners, endorsing them as world cups as well. The 2021 edition was actually played in 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
