Rugby Union World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rugby World Cup was originally thought up in late 1983, when the Australian Rugby Union and the New Zealand Rugby Football Union each independently wrote to the International Rugby Board seeking to conduct a World Cup tournament. In 1985 the IRB approved for the inaugural Rugby World Cup to be jointly staged in Australia and New Zealand during May and June of 1987. The 2003 Cup was intended to be held jointly by Australia and New Zealand, but disagreements between the International Rugby Board and the NZ Union, over sponsorship, advertising and ticketing, saw the competition relocated to Australia. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rugby_Union_World_Cup   (349 words)

GaWC Research Bulletin 100 World cities: Recent work has focussed on the role and importance of world cities (Beaverstock et al, 2000; Sassen, 1991) and especially on examining the connections between globalization and world cities (Short and Kim, 1999). The Commission reported in 1999 that seven IOC members were to be expelled, including Jean-Claude Ganga of the Congo, General Gadir of Sudan, Sergio Fantani of Chile and Augustin Arroyo of Ecuador. In 1999, a new procedure was set up in which the guiding principle was, in the words of the IOC, 'no visits, no gifts.' This directive was less concerned with democratising the process or even making it more transparent; it was essentially a response to the bad publicity and the fear of corporate withdrawal. www.lboro.ac.uk /gawc/rb/rb100.html   (11113 words)

Rugby World Cup Sponsorship On-site sponsorship activity at the Rugby World Cup was low, inconsistent, and unimaginative, with an over reliance on stadium signage to generate sponsorship awareness.

The vast majority of Rugby World Cup attendees agreed that sponsorship benefits rugby (92%) and was appropriate at the World Cup (84%). www.performanceresearch.com /rugby-world-cup-sponsorship.htm   (419 words)
