Rugby Canada gets funding boost for programs and four home events
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Canadian Heritage announced nearly $5 million in Sport Support Program funding for Rugby Canada in 2026–27, including a $2.815-million top-up. A separate $898,000 Hosting Program allocation supports four Canadian international events: Nations Cup matches in Alberta and Winnipeg, plus WXV Global Series matches in Toronto and Ottawa. Rugby Canada independently confirmed the funding on October 23.
Why it matters
The package supports national-team and participation programs while offsetting the cost of hosting international rugby in five Canadian cities.
