Rugby Australia, a privately owned entity headquartered in Australia, was formed in 1949 and employs approximately 280 individuals. The organization reported $83.3M in revenue as of 2024. It operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company functions as a national governing body for contact sports, specifically Rugby in Australia, representing all levels of the sport across its eight member union states and territories. It is a member of the International Rugby Board (IRB) and was established as a company in 1985.
Pacific leaders on March 17 proposed Australia deliver $150 million to rugby union in the region, citing concerns that the federal government’s bankrolling of rugby league could marginalize their national sport. Earlier on March 9, Zac Lomax, having committed his future to the 15-man game, admitted he is a rugby "novice" in his audacious quest to become a dual international and play in the 2027 home World Cup. Also on March 9, Wallabies hooker Josh Nasser re-signed for two years with the Queensland Reds and Rugby Australia, extending his career at the Reds through 2028 to strengthen forward foundations. This follows Rugby Australia's confirmation on March 9 that it was discussing a new AU$150 million funding agreement with Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga to enable a new regional competition structure for both men's and women's rugby. On March 8, Rugby Australia signed former NRL star Zac Lomax to a two-year deal with the Western Force, with the lure of competing on a “truly international stage” a key factor, paving the way for a potential Wallabies stint at the 2027 World Cup.
